She had a miscarriage after two months of pregnancy and she is asking about the fasts she observed when she was bleeding
Question A woman started bleeding two days before she had a miscarriage, and that was in Ramadaan. She also bled for two days after the miscarriage. The foetus was two months old – should she make up the fasts or what should she do? Please note that she fasted and did not break her fast….
Question
Praise be to Allah.
If a woman miscarriages the
foetus when human features such as the head and limbs have not yet appeared,
and the outlines have not even appeared, the bleeding that occurs with that
is irregular vaginal bleeding, and it does not mean that she cannot pray and
fast. But if human features have appeared, then this bleeding is nifaas. The
earliest that the human features appear is eighty-one days (of pregnancy),
as is explained in the answer to question no.
37784 and
45564.
If the matter is as
described, that the age of the foetus was two months, then the bleeding that
occurred before and after the miscarriage was irregular bleeding, not
nifaas. So the woman’s fasting on those days was valid and she does not have
to make them up.
And Allaah knows best.
