Leaving House In Nifaas

[ummtaalib]

 Assalamalikum, I would like
to know that after delivery a muslim women is not allowed to leave her house
for 40 days. She can only leave her house after completing 40 days. Is there
any hadith on this. What does islam say about this? Waiting for your earliest
reply. Thank You

(Fatwa: 618/463/D=1431)
 

It is not an Islamic rule not to leave home after delivery, rather after
delivery in the state of nifas it is unlawful for a woman to have
intercourse with her husband. Similarly, keeping fast, offering salah and
reciting the holy Quran is forbidden, these are Islamic rulings. The matter of
not leaving home is precaution according to medical viewpoint for the safety of
health, for which care is taken in houses, as during nifas period often such weakness
or illness occurs which takes root, which causes a woman to suffer her whole
life.
