The majority of scholars define post-partum bleeding () as blood that exits the woman's vagina after childbirth. If blood exits the woman's front private part due to childbirth, she is considered a woman in nifas, even if the birth was a Cesarean section. However, if no blood exits, she is not considered to be in nifas.
