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]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
