Blood Found Nearby
Question
We had intercourse this evening, and immediately afterwards we saw blood that looked like menstrual blood. We observed the days of separation this month only because we are a young couple and do not yet have a regular cycle. My wife's cycle is every 5 weeks, so we passed the days of separation, and five weeks is tomorrow. Was it permissible for us? Is it reasonable that this is menstruation, and what should we do?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
If there was no day of separation, and there were no preliminary sensations that raised concerns, it was permissible for you.
According to what you wrote, that she receives every 5 weeks, it is quite likely that this is a regular occurrence.
