Answer
A.It is not advisable for a woman to take pills in order to avoid her menstrual period. However, if she takes pills to delay the menses in order to observe fasts, the fasts will be valid. (Fataawa Raheemiyyah)
Nasihah (Advice): Qadha of Fasts in menstruation
Hadhrat Aa’isha Radhiyallahu Anha narrates: “During the time of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam we would menstruate and upon becoming clean, he Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam would tell us to make Qadha of the fast, but he did not tell us to make Qadha of the Salaah.”(Nasaai)
