Question
Hello, esteemed Rabbi, Regarding a brown stain found on underwear, how is the size of a gris measured when there are red dots on it? Do we consider the entire stain as one entity for stringency, or are the red parts calculated separately? With respect and thanks.
Answer
Hello,
The stain is considered as one stain, but only the red parts are counted for the measurement of a gris.
[Brown is not an absolutely permissible color. There are shades called 'brown' in our language, which are considered 'red' in terms of Halacha. It is necessary to discern which colors are permitted].
