Summary
Taking hormone medication is permitted even when it is processed from hormones found in the urine of pregnant mares. Hormone patches that prevent water from reaching the skin must be removed when performing the major ritual purification. Treatment that produces monthly bleeding, begun at the age of menstruation and continued until menopause, is allowed, and blood that appears within the usual menstrual period is regarded as menstrual blood. A married woman must obtain her husband's consent.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Bahawa pengambilan ubat hormon itu adalah diharuskan walaupun ianya diproses
