It is permissible for a woman to take medication to delay her menstruation in order to complete the rites of حج or عمرہ without interruption. This is allowed as long as a qualified doctor confirms the medication will not harm her health. Sheikh Ibn Baz and Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen both permitted this, considering it a practical solution to ensure she can perform طواف and نمازs.
It is permissible for a woman to take medication to delay her menstruation so that she can complete the rites of حج or عمرہ 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 medication will not harm her health.
Sheikh Ibn Baz stated that there is no prohibition on a woman taking pills or medication to prevent her period during حج, 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 حج without the difficulties caused by menstruation, such as being unable to perform طواف or pray.
Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen also permitted this practice but added important conditions: the woman should consult a qualified medical professional before taking any medication, the medication 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 medication fails and she still menstruates, she follows the rulings of a menstruating woman during حج. 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 نماز and طواف rulings.
