Question
Hello and blessings! I am a woman who usually has a regular menstrual cycle. This month, my period was delayed by a few days, and I thought I was pregnant. After a day, I went to the bathroom and when I wiped, I saw a red stain on the wipe. I was sure I had gotten my period. However, about an hour later, when I went to the bathroom again, I saw no trace of blood. Since then until today (a week and two days later), there has been nothing. I wanted to ask, what is my status? Am I forbidden or permitted? Thank you very much!
Answer
Hello and blessings!
If the wiping was external, and the amount of blood was less than a 'gris' [the area of a two-shekel coin], you are permitted.
If the wiping was slightly internal, or the area of the stain was larger, this prohibits, and you need to observe seven clean days and immerse in the mikvah as required.
