Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If the blood of the woman with post-natal bleeding stops after twenty days.
The Shaykh : If.
The questioner : If the blood of the woman with post-natal bleeding stops after twenty days, and she sits for two or three days observing, thinking she is still in post-natal bleeding, and then it becomes clear to her that she has become pure.
The Shaykh : That she.
The questioner : That she has become pure and the blood has stopped, so what is upon her regarding these three days in which no blood came down?
The Shaykh : If she makes up the prayer, that is better; and if she does not make it up, she owes nothing. This is because her leaving off the prayer is based on a principle, namely that she is in post-natal bleeding. She is of the same kind as the woman who came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) guided her to sit for her usual period or to act according to her ability to distinguish, and he did not order her to make up the prayers she had been leaving off, because she was based on a principle. So we say regarding this woman: if she makes up the prayer, that is better; and if she does not make it up, she owes nothing.
The questioner : And fasting is the same.
The Shaykh : And fasting.
The questioner : If it was in Ramadan, for example?
The Shaykh : She must make it up. Fasting is made up in all cases.
The questioner : That is, to clear her conscience, she makes it up, and she did not break the fast in the first place.
The Shaykh : No, it is not about clearing the conscience.
The questioner : O Shaykh, except that she thought she was.
The Shaykh : Does not contradict, she did not fast?
The questioner : She did not fast.
The Shaykh : She must make up the fast. It is necessary, there is no doubt, because fasting is made up in all cases. But the prayer is not made up during menstruation or post-natal bleeding.
The questioner : Okay, what is the maximum period, O Shaykh? What is the longest period for post-natal bleeding?
The Shaykh : Sixty days. The longest period is sixty days, and there is no limit to the minimum. That is, if she did not bleed except for a day and a night, that suffices; or a day, that suffices; or an hour, that suffices. Yes.
The Shaykh : If.

O Messenger of Allah, I have a severe menstrual flow that prevents me from praying
يا رسول الله إني أستحاض حيضة شديدة تمنعني الصلاةThe questioner : And fasting is the same.
The Shaykh : And fasting.
The questioner : If it was in Ramadan, for example?
