Is a woman obligated to pray after 40 days of postpartum bleeding (nifas), even if bleeding continues due to blood thinness, and is she obligated to make up the prayers missed during this period?

The maximum duration of lochia (nifas) is forty days. Any bleeding beyond this period is considered istihadah (non-menstrual bleeding), unless it coincides with her regular menstrual cycle. The questioner should have purified herself and prayed after the forty days, even if bleeding was still present. Based on this opinion, she must make up the prayers she missed. However, according to the opinion that the duration of lochia is sixty days, she is not required to make up any prayers.
