Prayer and Fasting After Abortion
A woman underwent in vitro fertilization and her pregnancy was in the fallopian tube. The doctor requested to terminate it after she had been pregnant for 25 days and performed a procedure to remove the fetus. What is the ruling on her prayer and fasting on the day she underwent the procedure, and does she need to perform a full-body wash, knowing that no blood has come out after the procedure?
Answer
I say, and with God's success, she must pray and fast if she does not have bleeding, and she is not required to perform ghusl; because she is not in postpartum bleeding, and God knows best.
