The scholars differed regarding the blood that exits one or two days before childbirth, accompanied by labor pains, as to whether it is (postnatal bleeding) or not. Al-Sa'di mentioned that the more appropriate view is that the blood exiting due to childbirth is nifas. However, if it is not blood, then it does not prevent prayer or fasting. She must make up the prayers she missed because she left them without being in a state of menstruation or nifas.
