Question
My wife needs to immerse in two days, and she underwent a cesarean section a month and three weeks ago. Some glue from the surgery remains. Is this a barrier?
Answer
Shalom Rav
If it cannot be removed, she can immerse as is.
Since it is a minority of the body and in a covered place. Therefore, it is a 'minority that one is not particular about', which ideally should be removed. But if it cannot be, it is not a barrier.
