Postpartum bleeding continued for more than forty days and I did not pray; is it true that the maximum duration for postpartum bleeding is forty days?

Question:
She says: I am a married woman, and when I gave birth to my children, my postpartum bleeding continued for more than forty days, so the duration of the bleeding ranged between fifty and sixty days. Naturally, I did not pray during the entire period of postpartum bleeding. Now I have read that the maximum duration for postpartum bleeding is forty days. My question is: Do I have to make up the prayers for the days beyond the forty for each birth? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
That is correct. The majority of scholars, and what the evidence indicates, is that the maximum duration for postpartum bleeding is forty days. Anything beyond that is considered ritual purity. Therefore, you must make up the prayers you left off outside of the forty days. Yes.
