Question
I became pregnant. A month later I went to a doctor for a check-up. She found no foetus and no heart-beat. I went to another doctor who said the same thing. The doctor then prescribed a tablet to expel the remains. When I took the tablet the first time, I started to bleed. The tablet did not work properly the first time, so I took a second tablet. After the second tablet something came out. I was not sure if it was a foetus or the placenta, etc. Now the doctor says that everything is clear, and it will be just a little fluid. However, ever since that day I am bleeding. Which are my clean days (tuhr), and which are my haidh days? I am confused.
Answer
The doctors with their haraam tablets have messed you up. They say everything is clear, but you are abnormally bleeding. How can everything then be clear? They may possibly have aborted a foetus which could have developed into a child. Rooh enters the foetus only on the 120th day (four months), hence it was not at all surprising for there to have been no heart-beat.
Now look what the haraam tablets have done to you. The tablets have created unnatural, abnormal and harmful bleeding to you. You have to revert to your last aadat (haidh habit). If for example, your last regular period was the 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th day of the month, then these same dates during the subsequent months will be your haidh days, and the rest will be istihaadhah. For istihaadhah take wudhu for each Salaat time and perform Namaaz. When the time of that Salaat expires, your wudhu will end.
