Question:
What is the ruling regarding farz ghusul after her periods when she has high fever. Does she needs a doctor's advice or fear of increasing fever so much that she might die, to avoid ghusul and do tayammum?

Answer:
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
الجواب وبالله التوفيق والنجاح

A lady after menstrual bleeding, should definitely take a bath, unless she is not able to take a bath because of intense fever. She fears that taking a bath at this time could delay her chances of getting well soon. 
In this kind of instance, instead of bath, she should make thayammam.

والله أعلم بالصواب
