Question

I really need help! I gave birth 2 weeks a go, Alhamdulilah! Do I have to wait for 40 days before starting my prayers? I'm not bleeding like it's suppose to be after child birth? Should I wait,or just pray ,then when I start bleeding again stop my salat or what? Help me out please.

Answer

You will start your salaah when your bleeding terminates. If the bleeding terminated in 12 days you will make ghusl and start salaah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
