The Maximum Duration of Postnatal Bleeding

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q2. What is the maximum duration of postnatal bleeding ?
A2: The maximum duration of postnatal bleeding is forty days; based on the hadith of Umm Salama:
The time of waiting for Nifas during the time of AIlah's Messenger was forty days.كانت النفساء تجلس على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أربعين يومًا
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 139Hasan (Darussalam)
It was narrated by al-Tirmidhi and others. However, if she sees purity before that, it is obligatory for her to perform the full ritual bath, pray, fast Ramadan, and become lawful to her husband. If the blood returns within the forty days, its ruling is the ruling of postnatal bleeding until she sees purity or completes the forty days.
