The Maximum and Minimum Duration of Post-Natal Bleeding

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is one of the sisters, Umm Ibrahim from Jeddah, who says: What is the maximum duration of post-natal bleeding and the minimum duration?

Answer:
The maximum duration of post-natal bleeding is forty days. This is the position of the majority of scholars, and it is what is supported by the athar (report from a Companion or successor). So forty days is the maximum, and there is no limit for the minimum. A woman may not experience post-natal bleeding; blood may not come out of her after childbirth. Yes.
