Spotting after abortion

Submitted by user2 on Sun, 2018-04-01 07:37

Q: I have questions related to Islamic activities like prayer, reciting Quran and fasting, sexual relations, etc. My wife was pregnant for 2 month's but the growth of the embryo has stopped after 1 month(4 weeks). After 2 month's we came to know the problem and the doctor advised to get D&C (abortion). Now even after 12 days, her menstrual cycle has not started and she is just spotting after 1 or 2 days on her pad. I want to know Islamically, do we consider it as menstrual bleeding or istihada?

A: If the bleeding continues for three days or more, it will be regarded as menstrual bleeding.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
