During postpartum (while postpartum bleeding continues), a woman in nifas (postpartum state) is not permitted to pray or fast, nor is ablution for these purposes valid. However, ritual washing for cleanliness has no issue. Once postpartum bleeding completely stops, she can perform ghusl (full ritual bath) and resume prayer and fasting. The duration of postpartum bleeding varies; the general view is it can last up to 40 days. For definitive guidance, consult a religious scholar.
