The blood that flows during pregnancy or due to uterine cleansing is considered irregular bleeding () and not menstruation (hayd), regardless of whether it is little or much.
Therefore, this blood does not prevent prayer or fasting. A woman experiencing this bleeding must pray, while taking precautions, washing away the blood, and performing ablution for each prayer after its time has begun.
It is permissible for the husband to have intercourse with his wife in this situation, and there is no expiation required for it.
