Question
Hello, a. A woman who feels that her cycle is about to start and sees a drop of blood in the urine on the floor, does she become impure? b. In general, a woman who feels that her cycle is about to start, from when does she become impure/concerned and should she check if it started or on the garment?
Answer
Hello,
a. I did not quite understand the situation, was the urine on the floor?
The general rule is that a stain on the ground does not render impure, because it is on something that does not accept impurity.
[Indeed, blood found immediately after urination may be evidence of a sensation and render impure even on the ground, but this is only when we know it came out immediately after the urination, which is almost impossible in reality].
b. The feeling that a cycle is about to start does not render impure, but certainly, one must be careful at this time not to transgress the severe prohibition of niddah.
When it is not known that the cycle is about to start immediately, but there is only a concern that it might start, an external wiping should be done before acting permissively, to ensure she is still pure.
