In Islamic law, there is no difference between a woman in postpartum bleeding () who gives birth to a male and one who gives birth to a female; both are equal in ruling. The maximum duration for nifas is forty days. If a woman experiences purity before this period, she is considered pure, and she must pray and fast, and it is permissible for her husband to have intercourse with her.
