The Ruling on Blood of Corruption
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His Eminence the Shaykh: A woman is pregnant in her eighth month, and this coincided with the month of Ramadan. Blood came from her before she delivered the fetus, and then she delivered the fetus fourteen days into the month of Ramadan via a cesarean section. Does she have to make up the days during which the blood came, even though she was fasting?
She does not have to make up the days she fasted before delivering the fetus, because this blood is not post-natal bleeding, nor is it menstrual blood. Scholars call this blood and its like blood of corruption, because what is not valid to be menstruation or post-natal bleeding is blood of corruption or irregular non-menstrual bleeding.
