Leaving off prayer after the expulsion of the fetus in the third month
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And I said to the Shaykh: Is there anything required of the woman if she leaves off prayer? Is there anything required of the woman?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
If she left off prayer after the expulsion of the fetus, which was two months old.
The Shaykh:
The voice is different, isn't it?
The questioner:
First, is there anything required of the woman if she left off prayer after the expulsion of the fetus, which was two months old, knowing that she was in a state of waiting for the ruling, and she stayed for twenty days without praying?
The Shaykh:
Yes, she must make up the prayers. Because the fetus that is two months old does not take on the rulings of childbirth. She prays, and the blood that comes out because of it is not post-natal bleeding, but rather it is a hemorrhage. So she should not leave off prayer because of it. Post-natal bleeding only begins from the expulsion in which the creation of a human being is discerned, where the creation of a human being is discerned from its hands or its feet or its head. And they say this does not occur except at eighty-one days, meaning two months and ten days, or two months and twenty days. When it enters the third forty-day period, the opinion of the majority applies, and at that point the formation begins. So post-natal bleeding begins from that point. As for before that, it is considered a hemorrhage and not post-natal bleeding. So she must make up the prayers she left off. Yes.
