Stopping Menses in Ramadaan

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askmufti.co.za

Q: Is it permissible for a lady to take pills to stop her menses in ramadaan in order for her to keep fast the whole month?

A: This will be permissible but detrimental to your health. Do not interfere in the system created by Allah Ta’aala for our bodies. The Qadhaa of the missed fasts which will be kept after Ramadhaan will bring the same reward, so why endanger your health? This method of taking medication to stop the periods is unnecessary and harmful.  

Allah Ta’aala knows best.
