Using Pills to Delay the Monthly Period

04/03/2013| IslamWeb

Question:

I would like to go and perform ‘Umrah at the end of Ramadan. However, this will coincide with my monthly period, which usually lasts for 10 days. Can I take some pills to delay my monthly period? Do these pills have any side-effects? What pills can you recommend for this purpose? Would consuming these pills hinder me from having children when I get married in the future?

Answer:

Assalaamu ‘Alaykum dear sister Nada.

You can use Primolet-N. Start taking these at least one week before your monthly period begins and continue through the last days of Ramadan. These pills will have no side-effects if used for such a short period, nor will they have any long-term effects for when you get married.
