  3. Nifas

Are the rulings of Nifas similar to those of Hayd?

The rulings regarding Nifas are similar to the rulings of impurity from Hayd.

If Nifas blood is present, it is forbidden for the woman to pray, fast, perform Tawaf, touch the Mushaf (Quran), stay in the mosque, or engage in intercourse with her husband (see detail in the question on what is prohibited/exempted during Hayd, as well as the rulings covered in the other questions). The touching-the-Mushaf ruling has its own page working through the barrier, teaching, translation and phone exceptions as they apply specifically to nifas; see can you touch the Qur'an during nifas. Tawaf carries its own page too, since a new mother's travel plans raise questions hayd's page alone does not answer, from the Hanafi dam to what changes once nifas passes its recognised maximum; see can you perform tawaf during nifas. Reciting Qur'an carries the same difference of opinion nifas borrows from hayd; see can you recite Qur'an during nifas for how the majority and minority positions apply to postpartum bleeding specifically.
