The answer

What is discharged from a pregnant woman before childbirth:

1. Blood: If it is discharged two or three days before childbirth with pain, it is postpartum bleeding (). Otherwise, it is irregular bleeding (dam fasad) which does not prevent fasting or prayer.

2. Water: It is pure (tahir), nullifies ablution (wudu), and does not prevent prayer or fasting, because it is not postpartum bleeding (nifas). Postpartum bleeding (nifas) is the blood discharged with childbirth or two or three days before it with labor pains.
