Summary
The status of blood during a miscarriage depends on its circumstances. Blood appearing during the usual menstruation period is considered haid even during pregnancy. Blood appearing during a time of purity, or lasting less than a day and a night, is istihadah. If a midwife or specialist doctor confirms that the expelled clot is the fetus or part of it, the blood that follows is nifas.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, sekiranya bidan atau doktor pakar mengatakan bahawa ketulan darah yang keluar itu adalah janin, atau sebahagiannya, maka darah yang keluar selepasnya itu adalah nifas.
