Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
A woman is permitted to take medication to induce menstruation in for the purpose of a wedding after Eid, provided her intention is not to break the fast, based on Al-Mardawi's statement: "It is permissible to drink medicine to induce menstruation… except near Ramadan to break the fast." There is no harm in this if the goal is to avoid menstruation during the wedding, and not to circumvent the fast. It is preferable, if possible, to take the medication after Eid to prevent menstruation or to postpone the wedding to avoid missing the fast.
