Summary
The shortest duration of nifas is a moment, it usually lasts 40 days, and the maximum is 60 days. Blood that flows beyond 60 days is considered illness bleeding (istihadhah). The answer does not mention an additional 15 days of menstruation after nifas as the questioner understood.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tempoh minimum nifas ialah sekelip mata (لَحْظَةٌ). Ia kadang-kadang berterusan hingga beberapa hari dan biasanya 40 hari. Manakala tempoh maksimumnya pula ialah 60 hari.
