Is the ruling concerning bleeding after a uterine evacuation for a molar pregnancy—which is not a true pregnancy—the same as the ruling concerning postpartum bleeding (nifas), which necessitates the wife’s isolation for forty days, or is the wife’s purification from bleeding after ten days sufficient?

What the doctor reported, that there is no pregnancy at all in a complete hydatidiform mole, means that the blood resulting from it is Istihada (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding), except for what coincides with the period of the usual menses, in which case it is Hayd (menstrual blood). The husband is permitted to have intercourse with his wife during this period, and the wife must make up for the prayers she missed during the period of blood discharge.
