Question:
Asalam o alykum
I am going on umrah 22.03.2018. I have had a miscarriage last week at 7 weeks and I am bleeding. Please help me. Can I perform umrah? What can I and what cant I do. Please reply back
Answer
بسم الله الرحمن الرحي
First, we console you and hope that Almighty Allah compensates you for this difficulty and grants you a righteous child.
As this is a miscarriage the blood is regarded as Istihaadah( إستحاضة ) and not post natal bleeding.
Istihaadah is bleeding for any other reason other then menstruation or post natal bleeding.
This means you can perform everything that a normal woman not in her periods can perform, so of course you can perform Umrah.[1]
Only Allah Knows best.

ودم الإستحاضة هو ما تراه المرأة أقل من ثلاثة أيام أو أكثر من عشرة أيام فحكمه حكم الرعاف الدائم: لا يمنع الصوم ولا الصلاة ولا الوطء
