The ruling on blood that continues with a woman in post-natal bleeding after forty days

Also, the questioners (M. A. Sh.) from Bisha, and Fatimah, Nawal, and Sharifah, in their second question, say: If a woman is delayed… she does not become pure during her post-natal bleeding, and the forty days end while she has not become pure, does she pray or does she remain without prayer?
Answer: If the blood continues with the woman in post-natal bleeding until the forty days are completed, then this blood that increased with her is considered blood of corruption. She should perform the full ritual bath, pray, and fast, and not pay attention to it. It is like the blood of the woman with irregular non-menstrual bleeding; it is defective blood. She performs the ablution for the time of every prayer, she protects herself with cotton or the like from the harm of the blood to her, her clothes, and her body, and she prays according to her condition. There is no objection to her combining the midday and afternoon prayers, and the sunset and night prayers, like the women with irregular non-menstrual bleeding. It is not considered post-natal bleeding from the time the forty days are completed… the blood with her is not considered post-natal bleeding, but rather it is blood of corruption. This is the relied-upon position. Yes.
