Does a woman in post-natal bleeding pray and fast, and does she have to make up what she missed?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
When a woman is in post-natal bleeding, what is forbidden for her? Is she allowed to pray and fast?

Answer:
Answer: No, a woman in post-natal bleeding does not pray and does not fast. Allah has lifted the obligation of fasting and prayer from her during the period of post-natal bleeding. However, she must make up the fasting; she makes up the fasting after she becomes pure. As for the prayer, she does not have to make it up. This is the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): that the menstruating woman and the woman in post-natal bleeding make up the fasting, but do not make up the prayer. They are not required to pray during the periods of menstruation and post-natal bleeding. This is from the mercy of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and His easing of the burden for His servants.
