Taking pills to prevent menstruation during Ramadan and 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Mish'al asks about taking pills to prevent menstruation during Ramadan, and also if she wants to perform 'Umrah and her period is irregular?
Answer:
It is better to refrain from taking the pills and let the period come at its time. The matter is broad, and praise be to Allah. She takes [the fast], she fasts Ramadan, and if menstruation comes, she breaks her fast. When Ramadan ends, she makes up what she owes. The matter is made easy, and praise be to Allah. Likewise for 'Umrah, she performs 'Umrah, and if menstruation comes before the tawaf, she holds off until the menstruation ends, she takes a bath, and then she performs tawaf so that she remains in her state of ihram. When the menstruation ends and she has taken a bath, she performs tawaf, sa'y, shortens her hair, and exits the state of ihram from her 'Umrah. So the matter is broad, and praise be to Allah. And if she takes the pills to prevent menstruation, whether for fasting in Ramadan or for performing 'Umrah, this is permissible, but it is better to refrain from it. And if these pills harm her, it is forbidden for her to take them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
