Question
As a woman, I cannot make rulings on my own, but sometimes I have various doubts, and in the end, when I check for certainty, the answer is usually that there is no problem. Are there situations where I can rely on logic that suggests there is apparently no concern? For example, if I haven't seen people doing so, or it sounds excessive, etc.?
Answer
Hello,
A woman can make decisions on her own in any matter where she knows the rules.
Additionally, certainly, if common sense suggests that there is no need to worry, one can rely on that.
Similarly, a woman can rely on what her family or other God-fearing people do in a certain matter, that it is acceptable. [Of course, this does not refer to relying on the custom of frivolous women who permit themselves some prohibition, but rather on the consistent behavior of God-fearing individuals].
