The maximum period for post-natal bleeding (nifas) is forty days. Any blood seen by the woman after forty days is considered irregular bleeding (istihada), unless it coincides with her regular menstrual cycle, in which case it is menstruation (hayd). If the blood originates from a mentioned cause or appears after forty days outside the time of her regular cycle, it is irregular bleeding (istihada), and prayer and fasting are permissible with it.
