Salam-Mun-Ale-Kum,
What rules must a woman follow for prayers post her delivery ? Is the ruling any different for continuous flow of blood or occasional flow for 40 days and beyond ?

Answer:- Post natal period (Nifaas) when the woman is not allowed to pray Namaz or fa=
st, is usually the same number of days of her menstrual monthly period. If t=
he blood flow remains more than those days, it can be extended to maximum of=
ten days starting from the time of delivery. Any blood after ten days in no=
t Nifaas but Istihazah. Woman must pray Namaz immediately after blood stops b=
ut not more than ten days, even if the blood flow continues , because that b=
lood is not Nifaas.
The claim that woman should not pray for 40 days has no foundation in Islami=
c evidences at all and it might have come from non Muslim culture.
