It is جائز for a woman to take الأدوية to delay her menstruation in order to complete the rites of الحج or العمرة without interruption. This is allowed as long as a qualified doctor confirms the الأدوية will not harm her health. الشيخ ابن باز and الشيخ ابن عثيمين both permitted this, considering it a practical solution to ensure she can perform الطواف and الصلوات.
It is جائز for a woman to take الأدوية to delay her menstruation so that she can complete the rites of الحج or العمرة without interruption. This ruling is based on the principle that there is no harm and no reciprocal harm in Islam, and that delaying menstruation serves the legitimate purpose of enabling worship. The woman should consult a qualified doctor to ensure the الأدوية will not harm her health.
الشيخ ابن باز stated that there is no prohibition on a woman taking pills or الأدوية to prevent her period during الحج, provided that a trustworthy doctor has confirmed it will not be harmful to her. He considered it a practical measure to help women complete their الحج without the difficulties caused by menstruation, such as being unable to perform الطواف or pray.
الشيخ ابن عثيمين also permitted this practice but added important conditions: the woman should consult a qualified medical professional before taking any الأدوية, the الأدوية should not cause harm to her body, and she should not make a habit of it outside of genuine need. He noted that if the الأدوية fails and she still menstruates, she follows the rulings of a menstruating woman during الحج. He also mentioned that some women experience irregular bleeding after taking such pills, and in such cases she should consult both a doctor and a scholar regarding her الصلاة and الطواف rulings.
