Fatwa for women: fasting - Resumption of postnatal bleeding

AoA

Fatwa: a ruling on a point of Islamic law given by a recognized authority.

Q: A Nufasa became clean within a week from childbirth and she observed a number of days in Ramadan after which she began to bleed again. Does she have to refrain from fasting, and does she have to make up for the days she missed as well as those she observed? 

A: When a Nufasa becomes clean before the end of the 40 days, she should observe fasting. She must, however, stop fasting and praying if the bleeding recurs until she completes the 40 days, which is the maximum number of days for the postnatal period after which she must have a bath even if bleeding continues, and perform Wudu for every Salat until the bleeding stops. That was what the Prophet PBUH instructed the Mustahadah to do. It is lawful for such a woman, at the end of forty days, to engage in sexual intercourse with her husband even if the bleeding continues. She has to perform Salat regularly and observe fast if this situation happens in Ramadan. - (Shaikh bin Baz)
