Question

Hi i was wondering iyh the time my wife is supposed to be going to the mikve is Friday night and it's a nice walk to the mikve I was wondering if there is any problem pushing it off till motzei shabbos?

Answer

Shalom!

Thank you for your question.

As a general rule, a woman should never delay her immersion.

However, under extenuating circumstances, it is permitted to postpone the immersion as long as both parties agree.
