Salaah after a woman's water breaks

Q: I would like to know if a lady is expecting and her waters break but it takes a few salaah times before she actually gives birth, is salaah fardh on her during this time? Will she be regarded as a ma'zoor and have to make wudhu and read salaah during the labour process untill the baby is born?

A: Yes.

If there is a continuous discharge she will be mazoor.

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