Postpartum bleeding () is blood that a woman experiences after childbirth. A woman is considered pure (tahir) if the bleeding stops, even if it is after a short period, because there is no minimum limit for nifas. She should then perform (ritual bath), pray, and her husband is permitted to have intercourse with her. She does not need to wait for forty days. A pregnant and breastfeeding woman can also become pregnant again.
