Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A woman miscarried a long time ago, and she waited fifteen days before asking, and she was not certain whether it was formed or unformed.So it was said to her: She prayed, so she began praying every obligatory prayer at its proper time.Then it was said to her: Is that not permissible?The Shaykh: But did this woman who miscarried actually expel it?The questioner: She says: It came out as a lump of flesh.
The Shaykh: She was not certain?The questioner: She was not certain; but she is certain that she miscarried.
The Shaykh: How far along was she?The questioner: Perhaps three or four months.
The Shaykh: This means it is post-natal bleeding, if it was four months, then it is certain post-natal bleeding.
The questioner: It was said to her: It is post-natal bleeding; but what about the prayer, O Shaykh?The Shaykh: She owes no prayer, a woman in post-natal bleeding owes no prayer.
The questioner: And is it permissible for her to pray one time for each missed time?The Shaykh: No, no, if a person misses prayers, he prays them immediately.
The questioner: Even if it is a large number?The Shaykh: If he prays them today, that is better.
The questioner: And if he did not?The Shaykh: If he did not, he owes nothing, if Allah wills; because the ignorant person has his ruling; but the knowledgeable person has another ruling.
The Shaykh: She was not certain?The questioner: She was not certain; but she is certain that she miscarried.
The Shaykh: How far along was she?The questioner: Perhaps three or four months.
The Shaykh: This means it is post-natal bleeding, if it was four months, then it is certain post-natal bleeding.
The questioner: It was said to her: It is post-natal bleeding; but what about the prayer, O Shaykh?The Shaykh: She owes no prayer, a woman in post-natal bleeding owes no prayer.
The questioner: And is it permissible for her to pray one time for each missed time?The Shaykh: No, no, if a person misses prayers, he prays them immediately.
The questioner: Even if it is a large number?The Shaykh: If he prays them today, that is better.
