Summary
According to the preferred view of the Shafi'i school, blood that appears between the birth of the first and last twin is menstrual blood if it meets the conditions, namely at least 24 hours and not exceeding 15 days and nights. If it lasts less than 24 hours, it is regarded as defective blood, ruled like istihadah. Nifas is counted only after the womb is empty, that is after the birth of the last twin. If the gap between two births is six months or more, they are treated as two pregnancies with two nifas periods.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Menurut pendapat muktamad, status darah yang keluar antara kelahiran anak kembar adalah haid jika menepati syarat-syaratnya.
