The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : This is the opinion of some doctors. Because in reality, when we are asked such a question about ordinary women from recent days, my wife asked me about one of them who wanted to fast Ramadan and her period was coming. Is it permissible for her to take the pills or the injection? I told her it is permissible, but she should consult a doctor if it does not harm her, because bodies differ from person to person. This is a valid observation, without a doubt, in its place. But the inquiry was from the Sharia perspective in general.
The questioner : Our Shaykh, the point is that giving the injection is not for harm or its absence. We are not asking about harm only, but rather so that they do not have to exert effort in cleaning, and she cannot clean herself by herself. This is the point of the question.
The Shaykh : This was understood from the beginning, but what is the action?
The questioner : They say there is no action except injections.
The Shaykh : Does she have parents?
The questioner : It seems she has lost her parents.
The Shaykh : This is her.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, what about Abu 'Ammar?
The questioner : I mean, if women want to fast Ramadan and pass the time of the period, if there is no harm to their bodies.
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with it.
The questioner : Do they take the pills?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And you, yes.
The questioner : Our Shaykh, your brother al-Sami'i sends you his greetings.
The Shaykh : And to you, and upon him be peace.
