What is the effect of the discharge from a pregnant woman on her prayer and fasting?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The second question, Honorable Shaykh! There is a woman who is six months pregnant, and she has been experiencing a discharge of fluid since the third month. Does this affect her prayer and fasting, given that her fetus has not been aborted and she is still carrying it?
The Shaykh : What is it?
The questioner : That her fetus has not been aborted, it has not been aborted, she is still carrying it. This is a blessing from Allah the High, the Ancient, that He has placed in you, and may He reward you, may He benefit through you, and may Allah reward you greatly, greatly, the One who accepts repentance. May it be blessed. May it be blessed.
The Shaykh : That is enough, I understood the question.
The questioner : Another question. No, no, no, just be good.
The Shaykh : One question at a time. I say that the answer to this question is that if a pregnant woman sees a discharge of fluid, or even blood, it does not affect her fasting, nor her prayer, nor anything else related to blood, except if the blood of her regular period continues with her according to its nature and its custom, in which case it is menstruation. As for this discharge that the questioner mentioned, it is nothing and does not prevent her from prayer, fasting, or anything else. It is pure, as previously stated; it is not obligatory to wash the clothes from it or to wash what it touches on the body, but it invalidates the ablution. I asked you, more than a night ago, to research this matter and verify it, so that we can either stick to our opinion or deviate from it.
