The Minimum and Maximum Duration of Nifās
Faṭimah: What is the minimum and maximum duration for Nifās blood?
Mother: There is no fixed minimum duration for Nifās; it could be as short as a minute, but the maximum duration is ten days.
Faṭimah: What is the ruling if Nifās blood stops before ten days?
Mother: All of it is considered Nifās, and after the blood stops, she must perform ghusl and resume her acts of worship.
Faṭimah: What if the Nifās blood continues beyond ten days?
Mother: If the woman has a fixed menstrual habit, in terms of duration or in terms of time and duration, then the Nifās lasts as long as her habit, and the rest is considered Istiḥāḍa (non-menstrual bleeding). If she is a beginner (i.e. menstruating for the first time), or Muḍṭariba, or has only a fixed-time habit, then Nifās lasts for up to ten days, and the rest is considered Istiḥāḍa.
