Ruling on the Return of Blood During the Postpartum Period
A woman gave birth a week before Ramadan, and her postpartum period was 15 days, which is her usual duration. Then she became pure and fasted for 10 days, then she menstruated for 4 days and then became pure again. Is her first fast valid?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If the blood returns during the forty days of postpartum, it is all considered postpartum bleeding, not a new menstruation, and her fast is invalid, and she must make it up. And God knows best.
