Is it permissible for a woman to use a contraceptive patch, given that water does not reach underneath it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And this woman asks: Is it permissible for women to use the contraceptive patch, given that water does not reach underneath it? And does this fall under the ruling of a plaster?

Answer:
No, this is not permissible. Menstruation is part of her health, and preventing it is harmful to her. It is healthier and better for her that the blood flows out than that she retains it. And if the patch prevents water for the sake of purification, then it is not permissible to use it, because it is not on a broken bone or a wound. It is not on anything; it is not on a broken bone or a wound.
