Bleeding Before and After Miscarriage

Question
I was pregnant for a month and a week, then four days before the miscarriage, I had bleeding, and then I miscarried and continued to bleed for a week. What is the ruling on prayer during these days before and after the miscarriage? Should I wait for the forty days before I pray?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The blood after miscarriage is menstrual blood, and prayer is not obligatory during it, and God knows best.
