Answer:
Menstruation after child birth
In the
name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness.
Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none
can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no
person, no grave, no prophet, no imam,
no dai, nobody!) worthy of
worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His
slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verse 222: They ask thee (O Prophet (saws)) concerning women's courses. Say: They are a hurt and a pollution; so
keep away from women in their courses and do not approach them (for intercourse)
until they are clean. But when they have
purified themselves ye may approach them in any manner time or place ordained
for you by Allah. For Allah loves those
who turn to Him constantly and He loves those who keep themselves pure and
clean.
The post
child-birth menstruation of a woman is generally accepted to be a maximum of 40
days, but the exact period of menses may vary from woman to woman. Whenever the bleeding from the post
child-birth menstruation ceases, regardless of whether it is before, at, or
after 40 days, the believing woman should purify herself with a full bath or ghusl of purification, after
which it would be absolutely lawful for her to enjoy conjugal relations with
her husband.
Whatever
written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allahs Assistance and Guidance,
and whatever of error is of me alone.
Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in
Islam,
