Menstruation by pills
Question
A woman in ‘iddah of divorce used pills to stimulate her menstruation. Between every cycle there were fifteen or more days of tuhr. Has the ‘iddah terminated?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The ‘iddah of divorce is three menstrual cycles. The ‘iddah has terminated by stimulation if there were fifteen or more days of tuhr (no blood) between the menstrual cycles.[1]
