KEADAAN DARAH YANG KELUAR DARIPADA WANITA YANG HAMIL APABILA DIGUGURKAN JANIN
What is the ruling on blood that comes out of a pregnant woman when the foetus is aborted?
Short answer
The blood is divided into two cases. If the foetus has already taken a clear human form, the blood is considered nifas (postnatal bleeding), so the woman may not fast or perform prayer.

Summary
The blood is divided into two cases. If the foetus has already taken a clear human form, the blood is considered nifas (postnatal bleeding), so the woman may not fast or perform prayer. If only a clot of blood or a piece of flesh without clear human features came out, the blood is not nifas and she must fast.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika janin sudah nyata seperti manusia, maka darah tersebut dianggap sebagai nifas.
