The ruling on using pills to prevent menstruation for the sake of fasting in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The sister Nun-Ha from Qasr al-Muzbil sent a number of questions, saying in the first one: I am a girl who wants to fast the month of Ramadan, but my period lasts eleven or twelve days, and I want to use pills to prevent my period. What is the ruling of the Shari'ah on that?
Answer:
The best course is not to use them. If menstruation comes, you break your fast, and then you make up those days on other days after Ramadan. This is the best, and this is what the women of the Muslims did from the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for using pills to prevent menstrual blood in Ramadan, if it harms the health and has negative effects on the woman, then it is not permissible, because of the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:195], and because of the undue effort involved, which Allah the Exalted and Majestic did not command. However, if it does not harm the health and has no negative effects, then it is permissible to take them, but leaving them off is better. Yes.

and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction [by refraining]
وَلَا تُلْقُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ
