Postnatal bleeding () is the blood discharged due to childbirth, whether natural or by C-section. The blood discharged after the miscarriage of a fully formed fetus (after 80 days of gestation) is considered nifas. "Kashshaf al-Qina'" clarified that nifas is the blood that appears with childbirth and two or three days prior, continuing up to forty days. The ruling of nifas is established upon the expulsion of that in which human creation has become manifest, the minimum duration for the manifestation of human creation being eighty-one days. It is not a condition for nifas to continue for the full forty days.
