If the post-natal bleeding stops after ten days, does she fast and pray?

Question : Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. And I. Yes, regarding Ramadan, Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says that she gave birth to a child on the first of Sha'ban and the post-natal bleeding stopped after ten days. She says it became intermittent. She asks: Does she pray and fast in such a case?

Answer : She does not pray and does not fast as long as she has not become pure. Because this may happen to some women; the post-natal bleeding is such that she sees blood one day and does not see blood another day. If that is the case, she continues not to pray and not to fast until she becomes pure. May Allah reward you, and thank you to the sister questioner.
