Taking Pills to Regulate the Menstrual Cycle

Question

I have an irregular menstrual cycle, and it is always significantly delayed. If I do not take the medication, it can be delayed for two months before it comes. Is it permissible for me to take the medication during Ramadan, or should I postpone it until after Ramadan? Typically, my period lasts 6 or 7 days; should I fast on the 6th or 7th day?

Answer

I say, and with God's success: It is disliked to delay the menstrual cycle with medication if it causes harm, and do not fast until you are certain of your purity, and God knows best.
