Question
My wife saw blood exactly at the moment of sunset. What is the ruling regarding menstrual cycles?
Answer
Hello,
It is difficult to consider the moment of sunset as a definite time, but rather as a doubtful time, perhaps it began during the day and perhaps at night.
Any bleeding whose onset is unknown is considered to have occurred in the second period, not the first.
Therefore, in this case, it should be considered that the bleeding occurred during the night period, not the day period.
