The Ruling on Blood That Comes After the Maximum Duration of Postpartum Bleeding

Question
I gave birth 51 days ago, and during the forty days, the bleeding was light and intermittent. I performed ablution and prayed, and then a week later, I had bleeding for one day. When can I pray again?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: The maximum duration of postpartum bleeding is forty days, and anything beyond that is considered irregular bleeding. And God knows best.
