The End of the Waiting Period for a Divorced Pregnant Woman by Miscarriage

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a divorced woman is pregnant in her second month, and then she miscarried.

The Shaykh:
A woman.

The questioner:
A divorced woman is pregnant in her second month, and then she miscarried. Does the waiting period end?

The Shaykh:
No, the waiting period does not end unless the form of a human being is discerned in it, meaning that it is more than eighty days old, and the form is discerned in the third stage of the stages of pregnancy, which is the stage of the clump (mudghah) where it is formed and its limbs are discerned. If she gives birth to it and the form of a human being is not discerned in it, she exits the waiting period. But if the form of a human being is not discerned in it, the waiting period does not end because of it. Yes.

The questioner:
And if the waiting period does not end because of that, does she observe the waiting period by menstruation? And when does it begin?

The Shaykh:
The blood that comes before the eighty days due to the miscarriage is not considered post-natal bleeding; it is considered bleeding that is not counted. So she must await a new menstrual period that begins anew, and she completes three menstrual periods after this blood, the blood of corruption. Yes.
