Must a wife pray during the different bleeding periods that followed a nine-week miscarriage, including the initial bleeding after taking the pills, the continuous bleeding thereafter, the bleeding after minor surgery, the bleeding that followed menstruation, and also during the bleeding period expected to last for two weeks?
Blood discharged due to the miscarriage of a fetus whose formation is not yet clear (i.e., before 81 days) is not considered postpartum bleeding (). If this blood occurs during the usual time of menstruation or has the characteristics of menstrual blood (color, odor, pain), then it is menses, and prayer is suspended. However, if it occurs outside the usual time of menstruation or does not have the characteristics of menstrual blood, then it is irregular bleeding (istihada), and prayer remains obligatory. The minimum period of purity between two menstruations is 15 days, and the maximum duration of menstruation is 15 days. Any blood beyond that is considered irregular bleeding (dam fasad).
