Bleeding after a miscarriage
Question
I was 5 and a half weeks pregnant and my pregnancy terminated naturally without having a sound ultrasound evidence. Only the placenta was formed. Is it obligatory for me to complete 40 days of nifaas?
Answer
No.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
