Making up the prayer for a woman after the expulsion of the fetus

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, is there anything required of a woman if she abandons the prayer? Is there anything required of a woman?

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
If the prayer was missed after she expelled the fetus at two months of age.

The Shaykh:
The voice is different, isn't it?

The questioner:
He says: Is there anything required of a woman if she abandons the prayer after the expulsion of the fetus at two months of age, knowing that she was previously regular in her worship, and she stayed for twenty days without praying?

The Shaykh:
Yes, she must make up the prayers, because a fetus that is only two months old does not take on the rulings of childbirth. She prays, and the bleeding that occurs for a reason that is not post-natal bleeding but rather a hemorrhage does not excuse her from praying. Post-natal bleeding only begins from the stage where the creation of the human being becomes apparent, such as his hands, legs, or head. They say this does not occur until the eighty-first day, meaning two months and twenty days. When it enters the third forty-day period, the stage of the lump (mudghah) begins, and at that point the formation of the body starts. From that point, post-natal bleeding begins. Before that, it is considered a hemorrhage and not post-natal bleeding. Therefore, she must make up the prayers she missed.
