Ruling on Intermittent Purity During the Postpartum Period
A woman was pregnant in the fourth month and had a miscarriage a day before Ramadan. She underwent cleaning procedures and saw purity after six days, but she continued to see blood every three days until the 27th of Ramadan. She then underwent another cleaning procedure. What is the ruling on her prayers and fasting during the previous period?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If she miscarried before four months had passed, then the blood she experiences is menstrual blood if it lasts for three days or more, and she is treated as a menstruating woman. What exceeds her usual period and the blood lasts beyond ten days, she must adhere to her usual days, and what exceeds that is considered irregular bleeding, and she prays and fasts during it. And God knows best.
