The questioner : Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings and His forgiveness.
The questioner : May Allah make your time blessed, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you, and to you the same.
The questioner : Our Shaykh, if you would be kind to us, we know your program, but by Allah, the matter is urgent. We called you yesterday, but you were not there, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Good, if Allah wills.
The questioner : She wants to know if the woman should fast or not.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : May Allah increase your virtue, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Amen.
The questioner : This woman, our Shaykh, out of her ignorance, went to a doctor at the beginning of Ramadan, on the assumption that he would give her pills to delay her menstrual period.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And this woman has an IUD.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And the pills conflicted with the IUD, so blood started coming down on her every day.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So she considers this blood to be not menstrual blood, so she continued fasting.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Now, she is very distressed by the blood that is coming down. She is asking a question because of the many suggestions from women to her. She says, what should I do? If I want to, I went and asked the doctor. He told her, if you want to stop the pills, your period will last fifteen days, and the time for your period will come tomorrow, as you say, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So if she stops the pills, her period will come for fifteen days.
The Shaykh : So what if the pills, does she need to take them or does she need to leave them?
The questioner : She is asking, if she leaves them, her period will last fifteen days, and if she continues with the pills, the blood will come to her every day.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Advise us, what should I do, and does this affect my fasting?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So she needs advice.
The Shaykh : This is a problem.
The questioner : By Allah, it is a problem, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : A problem she brought upon herself.
The questioner : She is deeply regretful, of course. We counseled her and said to her, why did you not take the dispensation of the Lord of the Worlds and let the period come to you, and when it comes to you, you break your fast, daughter of the free?
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : So she said, I am now regretful and do not know what to do. If I stop the pills, tomorrow your period will come, and the doctor says it will last fifteen days because of the IUD. And if I continue with the pills, the blood will continue with me. So she needs advice, and she needs to know, if she continues with the pills, does she have to count the seven days of the menstrual period, or does she continue fasting normally?
The Shaykh : Well, this cursed IUD.
The questioner : Yes, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Women, they rush to it in a rush.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : You must understand them that this is not permissible.
The questioner : We tell them, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : There is nothing on it; this is from the category of reminding.
The questioner : Yes, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : This is the first point.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Second, she needs to take the pills, for what?
The questioner : To delay the period.
The Shaykh : Well, and the doctor says to her, if you take the pills, it delays the period?
The questioner : Yes, the doctor who advised them to take pills to delay the period.
The Shaykh : Well, now the period is delayed with her.
The questioner : The period is delayed, yes, but she is suffering from the daily bleeding, the natural blood, not menstrual blood.
The Shaykh : I mean, you are referring to irregular bleeding.
The questioner : Irregular bleeding, yes, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And she does not want to see this blood.
The questioner : And she does not want to see it, in addition to the fact that women are of that nature.
The Shaykh : Leave me, leave me, one by one.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Now, she does not want to see this blood.
The questioner : She does not want to see the blood, and at the same time, she is asking if this blood breaks her fast, does it have a relation, or does it not break it?
The Shaykh : My brother, Abu Fares, one by one, may Allah guide you.
The questioner : Yes, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Now, she does not want to see the blood.
The questioner : She does not want to see the blood.
The Shaykh : Well, what is the way, in her opinion, so that she does not see the blood?
The questioner : She needs to stop the pills.
The Shaykh : She needs to stop the pills.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Well, wait.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If she stops the pills, the blood stops.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay.
The questioner : Yes, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : What will you complain about later?
The questioner : You will complain later that your period will come tomorrow, like... its time.
The Shaykh : Yes, let it come.
The questioner : And if it comes tomorrow, I will tell her, the doctor says it will last fifteen days.
The Shaykh : It returns to its habit.
The questioner : It returns to its habit.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And, if Allah wills, it will last twenty days.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : For example, our Shaykh, if the period comes tomorrow, the habit of women, the habit of this woman, she stays for a week. Is it permissible for her to count a week, then fast, and consider it irregular bleeding?
The Shaykh : And this is the meaning of the speech, may Allah guide you.
The questioner : This is the meaning of the speech.
The Shaykh : This is the meaning of the speech.
The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with good.
The student : I understand. It is a mistake if she took the pills, the period will not come to her. It is a mistake.
The Shaykh : Yes, but Umm al-Fadl is saying that you made a mistake, that if she did not take the pills.
The student : If she took them, the period will not come to her.
The Shaykh : If she took them, the period will not come to her.
The questioner : The period will not come, but the blood remains, our Shaykh, we are saying.
The Shaykh : So if she leaves the pills.
The questioner : She will menstruate.
The Shaykh : The blood will stop.
The student : She will menstruate.
The Shaykh : No, listen.
The questioner : It will stop if she stops the pills.
The Shaykh : Listen.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If she leaves the pills.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : The blood that you are seeing all the time will stop.
The questioner : Yes, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And her habit will return.
The questioner : No, it will return, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Her menstrual habit, tomorrow she will menstruate.
The questioner : She will menstruate tomorrow, but I tell her, the doctor says it will last fifteen days because of the IUD.
The Shaykh : My brother, may Allah guide you.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : For you, my brother, this is the solution for the problem in my way, not your way.
The questioner : Correct.
The Shaykh : Step by step.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Now, we are repeating to the ears of Umm al-Fadl.
The questioner : Yes, yes, our Shaykh, yes.
The Shaykh : That if she leaves the pills.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : The blood that you are seeing every day will stop.
The questioner : Yes, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : But she will see her period.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Her habit is a week.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : It did not exceed the habit, we told you, consider it irregular bleeding.
The questioner : But this is it, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And Allah is sufficient for the believers in fighting.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good and bless your life, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe and preserve you. We killed two birds with one stone.
The questioner : Well, praise be to Allah, and by Allah, this is your habit, our Shaykh, you always benefit us with these birds.
The Shaykh : The second stone is that you caught my wife; I understood the matter.
The questioner : I ask you, our Shaykh, I beg you, if you would be kind to me.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : Can I be with you in one of the gatherings, with the intention of a session of knowledge, if there is a nearby session?
The Shaykh : My eye, that is a privilege.
The questioner : That is.
The Shaykh : A privilege, a privilege for me.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, but our Shaykh, no one will tell us.
The Shaykh : Hehe, because you do not speak.
The questioner : Hehe, by Allah, our Shaykh, we hope to be.
The Shaykh : He said, "No right is lost if there is a seeker after it."
The questioner : Yes, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : As for the right coming to you.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Like that, a gift, like that from the sky, no.
The questioner: Certainly.
The Shaykh : It needs movement, and movement is a blessing.
The questioner : By Allah, our Shaykh, once I asked you, and you said to me, "I will employ one of these young men for you."
The Shaykh : Ah, I saw how it went, and you did not employ him. What can I do for you now?
The questioner : Again, there is no power except by Allah, we have nothing except our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Welcome tonight, we are at our place.
The questioner : At your home.
The Shaykh : And yesterday, he was at our place.
The questioner: Allahu Akbar.
The Shaykh : And yesterday, you missed it.
The questioner : Our Shaykh, it means.
The Shaykh : Not at the home, not at the home, you are busy with my home, no.
The questioner : No, of course, any place.
The Shaykh : You are busy with my session.
The questioner : Of course, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : You are busy with my soft voice.
The questioner : May Allah make you happy, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The questioner : By Allah, you are dear to our hearts, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.
The questioner : Well, we will come to you today, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes, but now we need to make arrangements for you to come by car, or do you want to ride in my car?
The questioner : By Allah, if you allow me, I will come, and also one who is Abu Riyadh will come in his car.
The Shaykh : Ah, in his car, you will come with him, welcome.
The questioner : Well, where will we come, our Shaykh, and when?
The Shaykh : Now, you will come to me, you will pray in the nearest mosque to us.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And you will come.
The questioner : Well, good, good, and we will come to your home.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : I mean, from now.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Well, may Allah bless you, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And may He reward you.
The questioner: Okay, peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : It is the pills that this woman takes to prevent pregnancy, as long as she takes them.
The Shaykh : ... pills.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And she has blood all the time, every day.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : The doctor told her that if she stopped taking the pills, this bleeding would stop and her regular period would return, but she should take them for fifteen days. So, following that method, there remained a question. Wait, one by one, Abu Fars, until the end. We told him, finally, let her refrain from taking the pills so that the daily bleeding stops and her natural period returns.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And if the blood continues with her for fifteen days, she should observe her seven-day period, and the rest is irregular non-menstrual bleeding. This is easier for her than seeing the blood every single day. Do you understand?
The questioner : Yes, she is taking the pills basically, meaning I understood that it is so she does not break her fast in Ramadan.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Because she has an IUD.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings and His forgiveness.
The questioner : May Allah make your time blessed, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you, and to you the same.
The questioner : Our Shaykh, if you would be kind to us, we know your program, but by Allah, the matter is urgent. We called you yesterday, but you were not there, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Good, if Allah wills.
The questioner : She wants to know if the woman should fast or not.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : May Allah increase your virtue, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Amen.
The questioner : This woman, our Shaykh, out of her ignorance, went to a doctor at the beginning of Ramadan, on the assumption that he would give her pills to delay her menstrual period.
