Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: Is it permissible for a woman to use contraceptive pills to delay her monthly period during Ramadan and Hajj, as some unmarried girls have done?
Answer:
Yes, if the pills do not harm her health and have no negative side effects. There is nothing wrong with her taking them so that she can fast in Ramadan and perform the rites of Hajj while in a state of purity. However, it is better for her to leave them alone. But if she does take them, we do not say that this is forbidden or prohibited. Yes.
