Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : I called you today during the day. Yes?
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner : How are you, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.
The questioner : My wife has finished her postpartum bleeding. What should she do? What is required of her? What is required regarding the postpartum period?
The Shaykh : Did she enter the postpartum period?
The questioner : Yes? Now it has stopped, and nothing is appearing on her, meaning.
The Shaykh : Has she not given birth yet?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Has she not given birth?
The questioner : No, she has given birth.
The Shaykh : Okay, so what is the question?
The questioner : The question is that now the blood has stopped, how can she be sure that she is pure, meaning?
The Shaykh : How many days have passed for her?
The questioner : How many days have passed for you now? More than forty days.
The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!!
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : After forty days, she must pray and fast.
The questioner: Allah is the Greatest!!
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : After forty days, and as for the days, okay, the days when she was pure, how many days are they, meaning? Does she make them up?
The Shaykh : She does not make them up. What is it, is this her first childbirth?
The questioner : First time, yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : First time.
The Shaykh : So, now take a lesson from this.
The questioner : Yes?
The Shaykh : Take a lesson from this situation.
The questioner : Yes, correct, you are right.
The Shaykh : Regarding what may come of other births, I say: the woman in the postpartum period.
The questioner : O our Shaykh!
The Shaykh : Be patient.
The questioner : If you please, my Shaykh, she is listening so that she benefits more, she is better. Speak to her, my Shaykh, please.
Another questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Keep your lesson.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : I say: if the blood of the woman in the postpartum period continues with her for more than forty days, up to forty days she is in the postpartum period, after forty days she is a woman with irregular bleeding. Do you know the rulings of irregular bleeding?
The questioner : Yes, is it wudu for every prayer or ghusl?
The Shaykh : Well done, no, wudu for every prayer is necessary, as for ghusl it is recommended.
The questioner : My Shaykh, I.
The Shaykh : Listen, listen, I will give you the lesson related to the question, is it your husband who asked?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, if the blood of the woman in the postpartum period continues for more than forty days, after forty days it is irregular bleeding, so she prays and fasts and everything. If the blood stops from her before forty days and she sees the white discharge, do you know the white discharge?
The questioner : This is what I wanted to ask, meaning.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is what I want to explain to you, do you know the white discharge?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If you see the white discharge before forty days, you are pure. But if the blood continues with you, then up to forty days and after that it is irregular bleeding.
The questioner : Yes, but Shaykh, before forty days the blood stopped, but there is what comes out, which is secretions, meaning not blood, it leans toward yellow.
The Shaykh : This is the completion of the postpartum period. I am telling you: if you see the white discharge, you are pure.
The questioner : If the purity, which is white, is mixed with something of yellow, is it considered purity or not?
The Shaykh: No.
The questioner : Yes, because it continued after forty days.
The Shaykh : We are done, we are done with the topic of continuation after forty days. The important thing is if you see the white discharge before forty days, you are pure, otherwise not.
The questioner : Okay, will I make up the days in excess of forty days?
The Shaykh : No, but the second time do not do what you did this time.
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner : How are you, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.
The questioner : My wife has finished her postpartum bleeding. What should she do? What is required of her? What is required regarding the postpartum period?
