Does a pregnant woman menstruate?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The questioner says: My wife is pregnant and is in her second month. A drop of blood came from her at the beginning of Ramadan, and that was after the night prayer. A few days later, another drop came before sunset, and its color was light. Then she was informed that she had continued fasting.

Answer : If a woman is pregnant and blood comes from her, and it is not regular in the way it was before the pregnancy, then this blood is of no account, whether it is a drop, two drops, or a large amount of blood. This is because the blood a menstruating woman sees is considered corrupt blood, unless her custom is regular as it was before the pregnancy, in which case it is menstruation. As for if the blood stops and then such things occur, the woman fasts and prays, and her fast is valid and her prayer is valid as well, and she owes nothing.
