Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The next question is from Umm Faisal from al-Khobar. She asks: Does a woman who gives birth via a cesarean section pray, or does she wait until she is purified? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
If the child has reached eighty-one days or more and blood comes down on her, whether the expulsion of the child was natural or by operation, and blood comes down on her afterward, then it is post-natal bleeding. She leaves off the prayer because of it for forty days. But if it is before eighty-one days, then it is bleeding, and she does not leave off the prayer because of it. Yes.
