Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

1.      A female should not interfere with her natural monthly cycle. However, due to unavoidable circumstances, for example due to experiencing her monthly cycle she will not be able to perform her fardh tawaaf - (Tawaafe Ziyarat) before the scheduled date of departure from Makkah Mukarramah, she may take medication (pill) to delay the monthly cycle.

2.      When a person has completed his/her tawaaf ziyaarah then sexual intercourse between spouses is permitted. If tawaaf ziyaarah was not performed, under no circumstance will it be permissible to engage in sexual intercourse.                                                                                       (Mu’allimul Hujjaaj Pg 218)

3.      According to Shariah, there is no such ruling against a pregnant woman to perform her fardh haj. However, from a medical point of view caution should be taken as to whether this woman is physically and mentally fit to carry out the rituals of haj. It should not be that by her going for haj, this becomes detrimental to her health and the health of her foetus. Therefore, consult with a doctor or gynaecologist as to whether she should go or not.

We should always bear in mind when experiencing any difficulty, it is only Allah Ta’ala who will remove this difficulty. We need to examine our lives to determine the reason of these problems afflicting us. Thereafter, turn to Allah T’ala with sincere devotion and supplicate as a humble slave seeking his unlimited forgiveness. We advise you to recite this Dua abundantly.
اللهم اكفني بحلالك عن حرامك واغنني بفضلك عمن سواك

Transliteration: “Allahumma ikfini bihalaalika an haraamika wa-aghnini bifadhlika amman siwaak”

Translation:”Oh Allah, suffice me with that which is Halaal from that which is Haraam and through your virtue make me independent from anyone besides you”.

And Allah knows best

Wassalaamu `alaykum
