The questioner : He says:The questioner : A woman gave birth to a child in the last month of Sha'ban, and when Ramadan entered, she saw purity and fasted for twenty days, then the post-natal bleeding returned. Does she have to make up the entire month of Ramadan on the basis that she is still within the period of post-natal bleeding, or is she satisfied with what she fasted and makes up the remaining ten days?
The Shaykh : Yes, when she saw purity from the beginning of Ramadan until the twentieth day, that was valid purity, and the fasting during that time was valid. Accordingly, she does not have to make up anything except what she left off when the blood returned to her a second time. As for the period between the two bleedings, which is twenty days, her fasting in it is valid, and she owes no make-up.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
