Question
If a woman has menstrual pain and cannot take a pill without water, how can she take it and in what manner?
Answer
If one needs to take medication during a fast and must use water to swallow the pill, they should make the water bitter by adding salt or several bags of chamomile tea without sugar, so it is not considered 'drinking'.
