Question
Some females after giving birth do not perform Salaat for 40 days. They believe that Salaat is not permissible for 40 days even if the bleeding stops long before 40 days. Is this idea correct?
Answer
No it is not correct. Post
natal bleeding is called Nifaas. The maximum number of days of nifaas is 40 days. There is no minimum number of days. It can end even on the same day after delivery. Once nifaas has ended, ghusl is compulsory and Salaat has to be compulsorily performed. If the bleeding has stopped then it is not permissible to abstain from performing Salaat. Those who had not performed Salaat after ending of nifaas have to make Qadhaa of all the Salaat they have missed.
