Ruling on Menstrual Delay Pills

Question
Is it permissible to take medication with the intention of delaying the menstrual cycle in order to fast during the days of Dhul-Hijjah?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is disliked to take it if it causes harm, and if it does not cause harm, it is contrary to what is preferable, and God knows best.
