The Blood Flowing After the Fetus Dies in the Womb

Question
The woman is pregnant, but there is no heartbeat for her fetus. Is the blood she sees menstruation or irregular bleeding? Note that the fetus is still in her womb?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Everything that the pregnant woman sees is considered irregular bleeding, even after the fetus has died, and menstruation only occurs after her womb is empty of the fetus. And God knows best.
