Is the blood that continued to flow for more than 20 days after a missed period, and it was determined to be a miscarriage of a one-and-a-half-month-old pregnancy, considered irregular bleeding (dam fasad) or postnatal bleeding (dam nifas), and are prayer, fasting, and intercourse permissible during it?

This blood is considered istihaadah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding) except for what coincides with the regular menstrual period, in which case it is menses (hayd). The woman must pray, fast, and her husband may approach her. She has all the rulings of pure women during the period considered istihaadah. She must take precautions and perform ablution after the time for prayer begins.
