The effects of hormone pills on prayer and fasting Question: A sister experiences extremely heavy, irregular, and painful periods. Due to this the doctor recommended her some hormones to take orally every 8 hours and this stops her bleeding and pain. Is she exempt from praying and fasting due to this or does she take the ruling of a sick person and is only exempt from fasting? And in case she takes the ruling of a sick person, can she fast while taking the pill? She has been taking this medicine for the last 21 days and has to continue taking it for another 8-9 days till she can leave it. If the sister stops the medication she gets the bleeding back and gets really sick. Sheikh Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu’kari: Prayer remains obligatory, while it is permissible to refrain from fasting as she is sick. Source: https://t.me/womensbenefits/663
