Summary
Blood that comes after a birth or miscarriage is nifas if it originates from the womb and appears within 15 days of the birth. If the blood does not come from the womb, it is neither nifas nor menstrual blood, but istihadah (irregular bleeding). This is because nifas is accumulated menstrual blood, and menstrual blood is natural blood that issues from the base of the womb.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sekiranya darah yang keluar selepas kelahiran atau keguguran itu, datangnya daripada rahim maka darah itu adalah darah nifas, jika keluar selepas kelahiran dan tidak lewat sehingga 15 hari.
