Taking Contraception on a Fast Day
Question
Is it permitted to take a contraceptive pill on Tisha B'Av, and is it permitted to take it with a bit of water? Thank you.
Answer
Shalom!
It is permitted to take the pill.
If it can be taken without water, do so. If not, it is permissible to take it with a small amount of water. It is preferable to make the water bitter with a bit of tea extract, salt, etc.
