Q: Can I take tablets to stop my periods during hajj, or is this not allowed?
A: You should not interfere with your normal monthly cycle by taking tablets. However, if there is a need and there is no alternative, for example, you will be experiencing your monthly periods and you still have to perform your Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah (Fardh Tawaaf) while you are also scheduled to return home immediately. If you fear such a predicament, then there is a leeway to control your monthly cycle during Hajj.
