Night of Immersion - Medical Issue
Question
What should a woman do on the night of immersion if she is unable to have relations due to her doctor’s instruction?
Answer
Hello and blessings
If she is completely unable to have relations, she should still immerse and at least permit physical closeness.
If she is able to have relations but may become pregnant, she should use temporary contraception.
