Is a mother required to make up prayers after miscarrying her fetus at three months and it has descended from her?

If a woman experiences bleeding after she has miscarried something that shows signs of human creation—even if subtle—then the rulings of post-natal bleeding () apply to her. The minimum period for human creation to become apparent is eighty-one days, which is the preferred view of the Hanbalis. Therefore, if a woman miscarries after three months from the beginning of her pregnancy, she is considered to be in a state of nifas, and she should refrain from prayer and fasting, then make up for the missed fasting after she becomes pure.
