What is the age of the fetus that results in post-natal bleeding?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes, what is the age of the fetus, may Allah reward you, that results in post-natal bleeding?

The Shaykh : It is when the creation of the human being becomes apparent in it.

The questioner : How many days pass for it?

The Shaykh : Generally, if eighty days have passed, the creation begins, though it may not be created, as Allah the Exalted said:
a lump of flesh, formed and unformedمُّضْغَةٍ مُّخَلَّقَةٍ وَغَيْرِ مُخَلَّقَةٍ
[Al-Hajj 22:5]
.

The questioner : Before the formation, it is not considered.

The Shaykh : Before eighty days, it is not possible; that is, if she miscarried before eighty days, she has not entered the state of post-natal bleeding.

The questioner : That is, two months and twenty days; this is the minimum.

The Shaykh : Yes, the minimum time for the creation of the human being to become apparent is eighty-one days.

The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

The Shaykh : Yes.
