Q: Is it permissible for a woman to take a medicine to prevent menstruation during Ramadhan?
A: It is permissible for women to use
medication to prevent menstruation during Ramadhan in the case that
trustworthy, expert doctors and the like ascertain that doing so neither harms
woman’s health nor has a bad effect on pregnancy organs. However, it is better
that women Do NOT use such medications. Allaah has given women a Rukhsah
(concession) not to observe Sawm (Fast) when they have their menstrual period
in Ramadhan, and has prescribed for them to make up for the days of Sawm they
have missed. He (Exalted be He) has chosen this for them as the way to
discharge this religious obligation.
May
Allaah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad,
his family, and Companions.
