Quran
وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ ۖ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَحِيضِ ۖ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَطْهُرْنَ ۖ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِينَ وَيُحِبُّ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ
"And they ask you about menstruation. Say, 'It is harm, so keep away from wives during menstruation. And do not approach them until they are pure. And when they have purified themselves, then come to them from where Allah has ordained for you. Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves.'"
Surah Al-Baqarah · 2:222
This verse addresses menstrual irregularities which is the primary manifestation of PCOS, acknowledging the natural cycles and their disorders as recognized medical conditions requiring purification protocols.
وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا لِّتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم مَّوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
"And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought."
Surah Ar-Rum · 30:21
This verse relates to the fertility and marital challenges faced by women with PCOS, emphasizing divine mercy in the creation of reproductive harmony which physicians should strive to restore.
Sahih Hadith
أَنَّ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ عُمَيْسٍ قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ اسْتُحِيضَتْ مُنْذُ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَلَمْ تُصَلِّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ هَذَا مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ لِتَجْلِسْ فِي مِرْكَنٍ فَإِذَا رَأَتْ صُفْرَةً فَوْقَ الْمَاءِ فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ لِلظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ غُسْلًا وَاحِدًا وَتَغْتَسِلُ لِلْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ غُسْلًا وَاحِدًا وَتَغْتَسِلُ لِلْفَجْرِ غُسْلًا وَاحِدًا وَتَتَوَضَّأُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ
"Asma bint Umays said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh has been suffering from istihadah (irregular bleeding) for such-and-such period and she does not pray. The Messenger of Allah said: Glory be to Allah! This is from Satan. Let her sit in a basin, and when she sees yellowness above the water, let her perform one ghusl for Zuhr and Asr, one ghusl for Maghrib and Isha, one ghusl for Fajr, and perform wudu in between."
This hadith specifically addresses istihadah (abnormal uterine bleeding), which is a cardinal symptom of PCOS requiring differentiation from normal menstruation for worship and treatment purposes.
أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْحِلْبَةِ
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) commanded the use of fenugreek (hulba/hilba)."
Fenugreek is specifically beneficial for PCOS as it improves insulin sensitivity and regulates menstrual cycles, addressing the metabolic and reproductive dysfunction of the condition.

Ibn Sīnā · Al-Qānūn fī al-Ṭibb
Ibn Sina, Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb, Book 3, Fann 21, Chapter on Diseases of the Womb (Amrad al-Rahim), discusses 'Ihtibas at-Tamth' (retention of menses) and 'Istihaadah' (abnormal bleeding) — he attributes menstrual irregularities to phlegmatic and cold humoral imbalances obstructing the uterine vessels, recommending warming emmenagogues, exercise, and dietary modification to reduce excess moisture and cold.
Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah · Al-Ṭibb an-Nabawī
Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah, At-Tibb an-Nabawi, Chapter on Treatment of Women's Ailments (Amrad an-Nisa) — discusses menstrual disorders as requiring both spiritual purification and physical treatment with warming herbs and foods to correct humoral imbalances affecting reproductive function.
