Question

What are the rules during the days of menstruation and the thirty days when checks are needed? I am very confused about all these rules. Could you please clarify them for me? I would greatly appreciate it.

Answer

Hello, 

Initially, one should check twice during the menstrual period, both in the average period — on the thirtieth day, and during the other menstrual days. 

However, during days of abstention that are observed stringently, but not by the main law, [such as the Or Zarua period before the main period], there is no obligation to check. 

If the menstrual period has passed and no check was done, she is permitted without a check. Except for a fixed period or an average period [the 30th day], where she is forbidden to her husband until she checks.
