The adhesive contraceptive patch and its effect on the ritual bath
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a woman says: A contraceptive drug has now appeared, which is an adhesive patch the size of a palm that is placed on the arm for one month. It says that this prevents water from reaching the area of the adhesive patch during the ghusl, the ghusl for janabah. Is it permissible to wear it? And what should she do when performing the ghusl?
Answer:
First, why would she prevent pregnancy? Pregnancy is not prevented except for a reason, a reason that necessitates this temporarily until the reason is removed. Second, no, she does not wipe over it because it is a barrier. Unless she wears it out of need, she wears it out of need, the doctors have determined that pregnancy will harm her, the doctors have determined that pregnancy will harm her, so she wears it to postpone pregnancy, to avoid the harm, then she wipes over it as long as she needs it, yes.
