Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: A woman finished her post-natal bleeding, and after a period, drops of blood came to her for three days, and she did not pray during that time. Does she have to make up the prayers, knowing that her period has not come to her yet?
Answer:
If she completed the forty days, then post-natal bleeding ends at forty, and what comes after the forty is not considered post-natal bleeding. So she prays even if blood comes to her, because it is considered blood of corruption, unless it coincides with her usual menstruation. If it coincides with her usual menstruation, her menstrual cycle, then she considers it menstruation and does not consider it post-natal bleeding; she sits for it as menstruation. But if it does not coincide with her usual menstruation, it is not considered, so she prays during it.
