What is the ruling on praying and fasting while experiencing intermittent daily bleeding, 32 days after a C-section and receiving a birth control injection, knowing that this bleeding is outside the usual time of menstruation?

The blood a woman sees within forty days after childbirth is considered nifas (postnatal bleeding). If the blood exceeds this period, it is istihada (irregular bleeding), unless it coincides with her usual menstrual period, in which case it is considered hayd (menstrual bleeding).

A woman experiencing istihada has the rulings of those who are ritually pure: she fasts, prays, and it is permissible for her husband to have intercourse with her.

If the blood that exceeds forty days coincides with her usual menstrual period, she should refrain from prayer and fasting. Then, after her customary period ends, she should perform ghusl (ritual bath) and pray. She must also take precautions by wearing a sanitary pad and perform wudu (ablution) for each prayer if the bleeding is continuous.
