Is it permissible for a woman to use medications that prevent menstruation so that her husband can have intercourse with her?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it permissible for a woman to use medications that prevent menstruation so that her husband can have intercourse with her?

Answer:
It is permissible for her to do so. She may take what prevents menstruation in order to fast, in order to perform tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), or for other permissible reasons. However, she must consult doctors, as she may take a medication that harms her. If it does not harm her, there is no objection, but leaving it is better. Leaving it is better. Yes.
