Di kalangan pesakit ummi ada yang bertanya, “Dr, boleh tak kita ambik pil untuk halang haid di bulan Ramadhan nanti?” Hmm…walaupun dah tahu apa yang bakal dijawab, tetap ummi bertanya, “Kenapa tak nak kasi haid datang?” “Tak delah..mudah sikit dr, tak payah nak ganti ganti nanti…” Biasanya itulah jawapan yang ummi terima. Sebenarnya soalan sebegini sepatutnya ditujukan kepada orang yang ahli..maksud ummi ditujukan kpd ustaz atau ustazah sebab ia melibatkan soal hukum. Walaubagaimanapun mungkin disebabkan penglibatan kegunaan pil di situ, maka nak mudah cerita, doktor akan menjadi tempat rujukannya.Untuk tidak menghampakan, di sini ummi petik 2 bentuk soalan yang di tanya kepada Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen berkaitan isu tersebut:
(1) Bolehkah seseorang wanita itu menghentikan haidnya di sepanjang Ramadhan dengan kaedah pengambilan pil?
(2) Bolehkah seseorang wanita itu mengampil pil untuk menghalang kedatangan haid pada 10 hari terakhir di bulan Ramadhan?
Stopping one’s period during RamadaanSome women take pills in Ramadaan to stop their periods. They do this so that they will not have to make up any fasts afterwards. Is this permissible and are there any restrictions on their doing this?
Praise be to Allaah.
I think that women should not do this and they should remain on the menstrual cycle that Allaah has decreed for them and for all the daughters of Adam. There is wisdom behind it and a reason for which Allaah created it, and this wisdom befits the nature of women. If a woman tries to stop this cycle, it will undoubtedly have a harmful effect on her body, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.” This is besides the fact that these pills can do harm to the uterus as the doctors have stated. What I think with regard to this issue is that women should not use these pills. Praise be to Allaah for His decree and wisdom. When a woman’s period comes, she should stop fasting and praying, and when her period is over she should resume fasting and praying; when Ramadaan is over she should make up the fasts that she has missed.
Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen
Taking pills to prevent period in the last ten days of RamadaanIf a woman’s period is going to come in the last ten days of Ramadaan, is it permissible for her to use contraceptive pills so that she can continue to worship during these days of blessing?
Praise be to Allaah.
This question was put to Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) and he said:
We do not think that she should use these pills to help her worship Allaah, because the period which happens to her is something which Allaah has decreed for the daughters of Adam.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) entered upon ‘Aa’ishah when she was with him during the Farewell Pilgrimage. She had entered ihraam for ‘Umrah, then her period came before she reached Makkah. He entered upon her and found her weeping. He asked, “Why are you weeping?” and she told him that her period had come. He told her, “This is something which Allaah has decreed for the daughters of Adam.” So the period is not something which is under her control. If it comes during the last ten days of Ramadaan, then let her accept what Allaah has decreed for her and not use these pills. I have heard from trustworthy doctors that these pills cause harm to the uterus and the blood, and they may cause deformity in the foetus if she should conceive. Hence we think that she should avoid them. If her period comes and she cannot pray or fast, this is beyond her control and is the decree of Allaah.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him)
