Prolonged Bleeding After Childbirth

Faṭimah: Many women believe that Nifās blood continues for forty days after childbirth and that during this period, they should refrain from worship. Is this true?

Mother: This belief is incorrect because the duration of Nifās depends on the type of menstrual cycle the woman had before pregnancy. In any case, Nifās does not last more than ten days.
