Question :

Does post-natal bleeding (Nifas) stop before forty days after childbirth?



The Answer :

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.

 

Yes, post-natal bleeding (Nifas) can cease before the completion of forty days. If the bleeding stops completely and its return is not expected, the woman has attained ritual purity (Taharah), even if forty days have not yet passed. And Allah the Exalted knows best.
