Q: I am going for umrah in two days’ time. Nine days ago, I was six weeks pregnant and miscarried, but I also had surgery to have everything removed from the uterus before I go for umrah. Can I still perform umrah? I am still getting light bleeding.
A: At six weeks, the limbs of the foetus are not formed. Hence, if the blood flowed for three days or more, this bleeding will be regarded as haidh.
In such a situation, a woman will follow her previous menstrual cycle. For example, if her previous menstrual cycle was five days and she now bled for over ten days, five days will be regarded as haidh and the remainder days will be regarded as istihaadhah.
In the state of istihaadhah, a woman has to perform salaah and she will conduct in the same way as a pure woman conducts (i.e. a woman who is not experiencing haidh). In the state of istihaadhah, a woman can enter Musjid-ul-Haraam and perform umrah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
والسقط إن ظهر بعض خلقه من أصبع أو ظفر أو شعر ولد فتصير به نفساء هكذا في التبيين وإن لم يظهر شيء من خلقه فلا نفاس لها فإن أمكن جعل المرئي حيضا يجعل حيضا وإلا فهو استحاضة (الفتاوى الهندية 1/37)
(ودم استحاضة) حكمه (كرعاف دائم) وقتا كاملا (لا يمنع صوما وصلاة) ولو نفلا (وجماعا) لحديث: توضئي وصلي وإن قطر الدم على الحصير
قال العلامة ابن عابدين رحمه الله: (قوله لا يمنع صوما إلخ) أي ولا قراءة ومس مصحف ودخول مسجد وكذا لا تمنع عن الطواف إذا أمنت من اللوث (رد المحتار 1/298)
