Cessation of postpartum bleeding nine days after delivery in Ramadan

Q 1: A man's wife delivered their baby on the ninth day of the blessed month of Ramadan, and after nine days postpartum bleeding stopped. Thus, she took after-menstruation Ghusl (full ritual bath) and started to offer Salah (Prayer) and observe Sawm (Fasting), but she noticed that during the night small drops of blood flow out of her, while during the day she sees nothing of this. What is the ruling in this regard? Are her Salah and Sawm correct? Please give us a Fatwa on the case at hand. May Allah reward you with the best.


A: If the woman concerned found perfect purity, her Salah (Part No. 4; Page No. 260) and Sawm are valid, for she is regarded as Tahir (ritually pure). As for the drops of blood she saw at night, they are not considered postpartum blood; therefore, its ruling is not applicable to them.
