Question

My postpartum bleeding continues after 40 days of my delivery. Can I perform Salah in this state ?

Answer

The following should be observed if bleeding exceeds 40 days: 1. Calculate 40 days from the time of the birth of the baby. 2. If bleeding exceeds this, than perform Ghusl. 3. At every Salaah time, wash your private area, change your pad for a clean one, make Wudu and perform Salaah. 4. If you have delayed in praying after the 40 days than perform Qadhaa of the prayers you have missed (after 40 days). 5. It is also permissible to read Qur’an (following step-3 above) and fast.

And Allah knows best.
