Marital Relations After a Stain
Question
Shalom, Rabbi.
A woman saw a pink color when wiping after urinating, one day before the days on which she anticipates her period. She then had marital relations, and afterward everything was clean with no appearance of any discharge; her period came during the following day.
1. Was it permitted?
2. Is this considered that he had relations with a niddah?
3. If so, what teshuvah should be done for this?

Answer
Shalom u’vrachah.
If the stain was smaller than a “gris” — approximately the size of a two-shekel coin — the woman is tahor.
If the stain was the size of a “gris,” one must check whether there is something to which the stain can be attributed, such as an external wound in that area, dirt, or the like.
If there is nothing to which it can be attributed, the woman became tamei, and one who had relations with her transgressed the prohibition of niddah.
The teshuvah is regret, confession, and accepting upon oneself for the future.
And for atonement, he should review the laws of niddah.
