Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for women to take what prevents the blood in order to perform tawaf, and to perform 'Umrah and Hajj?

Answer:
If a woman takes what prevents the blood before it comes down, if she takes it before it comes down and it is prevented, there is nothing wrong with it. But after it has come down, she does not take it. She does not take the pills after the blood has come down. Rather, she lets it continue, and there is nothing on her, and there is no hardship or blame on her, praise be to Allah. The rites remain valid, and she has obtained ease, and there is no difficulty for her.
