I am a confining mother. At the end of my confinement it is compulsory for me to have a ghusl bath. Is it compulsory for the baby to have ghusl and read namaaz with parent.

Answer

The maximum period of confinement is 40 days. A female's period of confinement (Nifaas) ends upon the bleeding ending even if it is before 40 days. Thereafter, she must take a bath to purify herself and perform Salaat. Salaat is not compulsory upon a baby.
