Seeing Pure and Impure colors on the Eid Bedikah
Question
Shalom,When a woman feels the פתיחת מקור (opening of the uterus), according to the Terumas HaDeshen we assume it was due to blood — even if she checked and didn’t find any. However, the Sidrei Taharah quotes the Shev Yaakov who rules that if she found mostly pure-looking colors and a minority of impure ones, we attribute the sensation to the majority (pure).What is the halacha if, in a bedikas eid that we treat as a safek hargashah (doubtful sensation), she found both pure and impure colors? Would this be treated as a kesem (stain), since in the case that there was a sensation we can attribute it to the pure colors — and perhaps even the Sidrei Taharah agrees, since it's only a doubtful sensation?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
In a bedikas eid, we are always concerned about the possibility of a sensation. Therefore, any amount of blood renders her impure.
The fact that part of the discharge appears to be a pure color definitely does not help.
