Twenty-five days have passed in post-natal bleeding, then she became pure; should she fast?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman is in post-natal bleeding, and twenty-five days have passed, so she saw purity. Should she fast, because that was during the month of Ramadan?

Answer:
When a woman in post-natal bleeding sees purity, it is obligatory for her to perform the full ritual bath and to fast if it is Ramadan, and to pray, even if it was twenty-five days, or twenty, or a month. It is not obligatory for her to complete the forty days. As soon as she sees purity after childbirth, even if it is only a few days, she performs the full ritual bath, prays, fasts, and becomes lawful to her husband.
If the bleeding continues with her until she completes the forty days, she also performs the full ritual bath, prays, and fasts, even if she has bleeding after the forty days; because the limit is forty days. If the bleeding exceeds forty days, this is corrupt blood, considered like irregular non-menstrual bleeding, which does not prevent prayer or fasting, nor does it prevent her from becoming lawful to her husband. Rather, she performs the full ritual bath, prays, fasts, and performs the ablution for the time of every prayer; because it is corrupt blood like incontinence, so she prays, fasts, becomes lawful to her husband, and performs the ablution for every prayer. This is if it reaches forty days.
As for if she sees purity before the forty days, and it is twenty-five, or twenty, or thirty days, she also performs the full ritual bath, prays, and fasts, even if she has not completed the forty days.
