Taking a Pill on a Fast Day
Question
I am taking contraceptive pills. How should I take the pill on a fast day?
Answer
Shalom!
If it is impossible to take it without water, you should take the pill with a small amount of water.
It is advisable to make the water bitter or sour by adding tea extract or some lemon juice so that there is no pleasure in drinking.
