This is a woman asking, sheikh.
A woman who has been experiencing this for a month, since the beginning of her pregnancy.
Since the beginning of her pregnancy. Should she pray in.
The blood that comes out of her may continue for fifteen or even twenty days. I read a fatwa from you in one of the books.
You say that this blood that comes out.
Before completing four months, before it is complete.
The fetus is considered impure blood.
And the woman should pray during this.
And there is no right to combine prayers in this case.
So what is your opinion, esteemed one? This is our view, it is what I have read.
So if a pregnant woman miscarries after one month,
or two months, then this blood is impure blood.
It does not prevent her from prayer or fasting.
Nor from being intimate with her husband.
And she is not required to combine two prayers unless it is difficult for her to make ablution for each prayer.
And the rule regarding this, according to most scholars,
is that if a woman miscarries a fetus,
if the creation of a human being is evident in it,
The blood is postpartum bleeding, meaning if the head, hands, and feet are clearly formed, then the blood is postpartum bleeding.
Otherwise, it is not postpartum bleeding, but rather irregular bleeding.
And the minimum at which the human form can be distinguished,
is eighty days.
The evidence for this is the narration of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him.
He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told us.
And he is the truthful and trusted one, so he said: One of you is created in his mother's womb for forty days as a drop of fluid.
Then he becomes a clot for a similar period, then he becomes.
A lump of flesh for a similar period, then the angel is sent to him and breathes the soul into him.
This lump of flesh is mentioned by Allah, the Exalted, in the Quran.
That it can be formed or unformed.
So before eighty days, the blood cannot be considered postpartum bleeding.
Why?
Because it was not absolute; until now it is still suspended.
After eighty days, it becomes unstable.
This lump may be formed or may not be formed.
But if it reaches ninety days, it is most likely formed.
Most likely, if it reaches ninety days, it is formed.
Yes, do you understand now?
