Ruling on a woman using pills to delay menstruation so that she can fast
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q424: The questioner says: What is the ruling on a woman taking pills that delay the onset of menstruation so that she can fast the month of Ramadan?
A424: Before it comes, she may take the pills that prevent the period, and this should be done with the advice of a doctor, so that it does not harm her while she is unaware. However, if the period has already started, it is not permissible to take the pills, even if the blood stops, for she is still in menstruation. This is only before the blood comes and before the period; she may take the pills. If the blood is prevented and does not come at its usual time, then she fasts.
