Q. Is it permissible to take the medication like the pill (contraceptive) throughout the month of Ramadaan to avoid getting one's period in order to keep all the fasts as I feel bad missing these fasts?
A.Though it is permissible, it is not best to do so. It could have side effects like tampering with one's cycle, etc. which leads to difficulties and problems in the future for Salaah, Umrah/Hajj etc. This is besides other long term medical harms. It is better that you allow your menstruation to continue as normal and make up for the missed fasts later on. Allah will reward you for your intention to keep all the fasts of Ramadaan and you will not miss out on any of the rewards Insha Allah.
And Allah Knows Best
