Post-Miscarriage Bleeding: What to Expect After Uterine Cleaning

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks,and my uterus was surgically cleaned out. What is the status of the bleeding after this?

A: If the limbs of the foetus were not formed then if the blood flowed for three days or more it would be regarded as haidh. The woman will follow her previous menstruating cycle. E.g. If she was used to bleeding for five days and she now bled for over ten days, five days will be regarded as haidh and the remainder days as istihaadhah. If the limbs of the foetus were formed, then the bleeding will be regarded as nifaas.

And Allah Ta’ala 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 (هندية 1/37)
