The answer

A woman's fast is valid because there is no minimum duration for postpartum bleeding (). So, when she sees purity, she should perform , and she is pure. There is no specified minimum duration for nifas in Islamic law. Cases of short and long nifas have been observed, such as a woman who gave birth and did not see any blood, and a woman who gave birth at the beginning of the day and became pure at the end of it. Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "It is not permissible for a woman in nifas, once she sees purity, except that she prays."
