Question
Good evening, Rabbi. Today my wife saw some kind of stain, and we don't know what it means. Is it possible to send a picture to find out if we are permitted or prohibited?
Answer
Hello Rabbi,
Sending a picture on the site is possible, but not recommended, as the shade can change significantly depending on the type of picture and screen.
However, when there is no other choice, it is possible.
The basic rules that will help you decide on your own:
A. Is the size 'like a gris', meaning the area of a two-shekel coin. If the size is less than this, the stain does not prohibit.
B. If there is another source that could be the cause of the stain, such as a wound, abrasion, hemorrhoids, etc.
