Ruling on pills to delay menstruation for the sake of fasting and Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
You are asking Your Eminence about the pills that prevent the legal excuse in order for a woman to be able to fast, or to perform Hajj. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There is no harm in taking pills in Ramadan, or on the days of Hajj, to prevent menstruation, provided the pills do not contain any harm. If she knows that they do not harm her, then there is nothing wrong with using them to prevent menstruation so that she can fast with the people and pray with the people, and so on in Hajj, so that she is not hindered. All of this is permissible, if Allah wills, because it is a benefit without harm.
However, if they harm her, damaging her womb or her body, then it is not permissible.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
