40 Days of Nifaas: Understanding Postpartum Bleeding and Identifying Haiz and Istihadha

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: A woman had 40 days of nifaas. Then there was no bleeding for two days. Thereafter she started to bleed. What would this new bleeding be? Would it be istihadha or haiz? Also, if it was haiz, would it be counted according to the old habit the one before she got pregnant?

40 Days of Nifaas: Understanding Postpartum Bleeding and Identifying Haiz and Istihadha

A: The bleeding was before fifteen days, so it is istihaazah.

( والزائد ) على أكثره ( استحاضة ) لو مبتدأة أما المعتادة فترد لعاداتها وكذا الحيض فإن انقطع على أكثرهما أو قبله فالكل نفاس وكذا حيض إن وليه طهر تام وإلا فعادتها وهي تثبت وتنتقل بمرة به يفتى وتمامه فيما علقناه على الملتقى
و في رد المحتار : ( قوله لو مبتدأة ) يعني إنما يعتبر الزائد على الأكثر استحاضة في حق المبتدأة التي لم تثبت لها عادة أما المعتادة فترد لعادتها أي و يكون ما زاد على العادة استحاضة لا ما زاد على الأكثر فقط (رد المحتار 1/300)
