Glad tidings in the mubaarak Ahaadith for a lady who had a miscarriage
Q:
1. I had a missed miscarriage at 8 and half weeks of pregnancy. I conceived at a late stage as I was blessed with nikaah much later in my life. I am much devastated with the miscarriage.
My question is, will the miscarried foetus go to heaven or it never existed (as if there was no rooh in it)?
2. Furthermore, I had a dnc done but after three weeks post procedure I'm still bleeding. Please advise on the process for salaah and Quraan.
