The answer

A miscarriage that occurs at two months of gestation is not considered a human being because the soul has not yet been breathed into it. Therefore, it is not obligatory to wash, shroud, or pray over it, and the rulings pertaining to a miscarriage into which the soul has been breathed do not apply to it. The blood discharged by a woman after miscarrying something in which human creation has not yet become apparent is considered (irregular bleeding) and not (post-natal bleeding).
