Is the period of bleeding after an ectopic pregnancy removal surgery considered Nifas (post-childbirth bleeding) that necessitates making up missed prayers afterward?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If 81 days have passed since conception, then the blood after theoperation is considered (post-natal bleeding) because the fetus begins to form at this stage. However, if the fetus is expelled before this period, then the blood is considered irregular bleeding (dam fasad) which does not prevent prayer or fasting. In such a case, both prayer and fasting must be made up if they were missed.
