Taking pills to prevent period in the last ten days of Ramadaan

If 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 ShaykhMuhammad 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, thenher period came before she reached
Makkah. He entered upon her and found her weeping. He asked, "Why are
you weeping?" and she told himthat her period had come. He told her,
"This is something which Allaah has decreed for thedaughters 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 doctorsthat these pills cause harm to the uterus and the
blood, and they may cause deformity in thefoetus if she should
conceive. Hence we think that she should avoid them. If her period
comes and she cannot pray or fast, thisis beyond her control and is
the decree of Allaah.
