Stain on Black Garment

Question

I saw a stain that looks like blood on black undergarments. Could this render one impure?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

If it is not a very large amount, [less than the size of a credit card], it does not prohibit. However, one must wait 24 hours before performing the mitzvah.
