Q: I had an
ectopic pregnancy, and as a result, I had bleeding for 36 days during which I did not perform Salah (prayer).
I thought at the beginning that it was my menstrual period but later on, the matter went too far, so I went to the hospital. They did not discover the matter except after 36 days. The blood and pain lasted for a period of time, so I had an open belly surgery to get the fetus out. After the surgery, the flow of blood continued for a week then stopped.Could you kindly advise me regarding the ruling on the past Salahs during this period? If there is compensation, how should I make up for it? May Allah reward you.
After the Committee studied the question, its answer was as follows: You must make up for the missed obligatory Salah as much as you can; (Part No. 5; Page No. 10) each day and at anytime provided that you offer them in order. For Example, you offer Fajr (Dawn), Zhuhr (Noon), `Asr (Afternoon), Maghrib (Sunset) and then `Isha' (Night) Prayers in this sequence, and do not bind yourself to a certain time until you complete the missed Salahs.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
