Question
I am studying bridal guidance and strive to help women calculate the times of abstinence. I was informed that among Yemenites there are Baladi and Shami, and I'm not sure if they are obligated to abstain? How should one approach this issue? And if someone does want to, how to guide her to observe even if she is Yemenite?
Answer
Greetings,
Yemenites also need to abstain during the monthly cycle and the intermediate period [on the day of sighting, the 30th day].
However, regarding checks, Yemenites only check during the intermediate period, which is considered a fixed cycle, but during the monthly cycle and the period of distancing, they only abstain during that period and do not check.
