The answer

The scholars differed regarding the beginning of nifas (postpartum bleeding). The Hanbalis and Hanafis held that it is established by the delivery of something in which the form of a human being becomes apparent. Whereas the Shafi'is held that it is established by the delivery of something in which the image of a human being appears, or what specialists determine to be human flesh. As for the Malikis, they held that nifas is established by the delivery of clotted blood that does not dissolve in hot water.
