The answer

A woman is obligated to make up for the day's fast if she took a birth control pill after the dawn (Fajr) prayer, while being aware of her fast. However, if she took it forgetfully, then there is nothing upon her and her fast is valid. It is permissible to use contraceptives under certain conditions.
