If a woman miscarries in her third month, is it considered post-natal bleeding?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you. Upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings. Is the Shaykh with you now? By Allah, my wife was pregnant for about two and a half or three months, and then she saw blood. It lasted for about three days, then she went to the hospital and miscarried. Since the miscarriage, it has been about a week until now, and she is still seeing blood. So what is the situation regarding prayer before and after the miscarriage? Does she pray or not? She has not prayed, meaning from the day she saw the blood until now—about three days before the miscarriage and seven days after—so what is the situation regarding prayer?

The Shaykh : Yes, the answer is: if the miscarriage that came down had the form of a human being, then this blood is post-natal bleeding, so she does not pray.

The questioner : The one after the miscarriage.

The Shaykh : Yes, if the miscarriage that fell was this one.

The questioner : Yes, it is clear with a complete formation.

The Shaykh : Meaning its hands, legs, and head are distinct.

The questioner : Yes, yes, it has a complete formation.

The Shaykh : Okay, so it means the blood that affected her is post-natal bleeding.

The questioner : And the one before.

The Shaykh : How long is the post-natal bleeding?

The questioner : Everything before and after.

The Shaykh : Until it enters.

The questioner : The one before the miscarriage and the one after, meaning if we open it up.

The Shaykh : Before her miscarriage, she was having contractions. So what is before the birth by two or three days is considered part of the post-natal bleeding. Yes.

The presenter : Okay, may Allah reward you with good. Thank you, my brother.
