Is there any nifaas in thecase of caesarean birth?

Is there any nifaas in thecase of caesarean birth?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Nifaas is the bleeding that occurs because of childbirth, whether the
birth was natural or by Caesarean. In fact if a woman has a
miscarriage and delivers a formed foetus – i.e., one in which features
such as the head, arm or leg had appeared, whichis only after eighty
days of pregnancy – the bleeding that occurs because of that is also
nifaas.
It says in Kashshaaf al-Qinaa' (1/218): Nifaas is bleeding from the
uterus that occurs at the time of birth, or two or three days before
it, andafter it up to 40 days. The ruling on nifaas is valid and
applies even if the miscarriage occurredas a result of deliberate
action such as the woman striking herself or taking medicine (to
induce an abortion) and so on… if human features can be seen in the
(foetus). But if she produces an 'alaqah (clot of blood) or a mudghah
(unformed embryo resembling a piece of chewed flesh), then the rulings
on nifaas do not apply. The minimum length of pregnancy at which human
features may appear is eighty-one days, but in most cases, according
to what was stated by al-Majd, Ibn Tameem, Ibn Hamdaan and others, is
three months. End quote.
Nifaas may last for a few days then cease; there is no stipulation
that it should continue for fortydays.
And Allah knows best.
