Question
Hello Rabbi, My wife gave birth about 5 months ago and has been exclusively breastfeeding, not receiving her period since the post-birth immersion. During intercourse, my wife noticed a blood stain on my shirt (white). There was no visible blood on the organ or around it, but it is possible that I injured a sensitive area with my fingers. I have nails that can scratch, and she even felt the nails, so I might have accidentally wounded her. There is no particular pain on her part. In such a case, should we be concerned about the impurity of Niddah, or can we assume that the blood comes from an external scratch and not be stringent? Thank you in advance for the guidance.
Answer
Hello,
There is no concern, and she is pure.
When a stain is found in a place that could directly come from the womb, it is necessary to find another reason to attribute the blood [for example, it is not enough to have a nail that can scratch, but it must be verified that there is indeed a wound that could bleed].
However, when the stain is not found in a place that could come from the source, there is no concern regarding the law of the stain.
