Fathwa, - Making up prayer and fasting because of bleeding that accompanies abortion

Question
I experienced miscarriage in the first month of pregnancy during
Ramadhaan but I did not realize the reasonbehind the bleeding so I
considered it menstruation. Therefore, I abstained from fasting and
offering the prayer for twelve days. Afterwards the doctor informed me
that it was a miscarriage, not menstruation, so how can I make up the
prayer? Can I make up one obligatory prayer with the same one on a
daily basis?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
, is His Slave and Messenger.
If the miscarriage occurred before the creation of the fetus, it is
considered as merely blood whose emergence implies no refrainment from
fasting or offering prayer. Therefore, a woman who refrained from
fasting and offeringprayer because of bleeding that accompanied a
miscarriage during the first month of pregnancy is obliged to make up
fasting and prayers. Moreover, anyone who isobliged to make up prayer
must make it up once he remembers or after the absence of
obstructions. She has to make up all the missed prayers at once if
possible. Otherwise she may make them according to her ability, either
with other obligatory prayers or singled out.
