Is it necessary to complete 40 days after the child birth and then offer the prayers Or whenever bleeding stops, a lady can have bath and start offering the prayers. If bleeding stops before 40 days then a lady can have bath and start prayers. Regards.

Answer:

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

If bleeding stops before forty days, a woman will have to take a bath and start performing her Salat. It is not necessary for her to wait for the completion of forty days in order to perform her Salat.

(Al-Fatawa al-Tatarkhaniyyah, vol 1, pg 390, Idara Al-Quran / Behishti Zewar, vol 1, pg 95, ZamZam)

وان انقطع الدم قبل الاربعين ودخل وقت صلاة تنتظر الى اخر الوقت ثم تغتسل فى بقية الوقت وتصلى (الفتاوى التاتارخانية 1/390,ادارة القرآن)

And Allah knows best
