Question
My wife had a regular cycle before childbirth on 29 Tevet 5784, and she is still nursing. She has seen twice since childbirth: 1. 14 Kislev 5785. 2. The last 22 Iyar. The question is, she has not yet seen since childbirth on the date of the regular cycle, does the regular cycle matter now? For example, should we not worry about the average cycle on the 31st day from the last sighting, which falls today, 23 Iyar. This is what I was told this week on the line... but I asked one rabbi, and he told me that it is advisable to be stringent. Another rabbi told me that this is a mistake because as long as she has not seen once after childbirth on the date of the regular cycle, the regular cycle before childbirth does not matter. Additionally, he said that if the cycle was established during the nursing period, it is not a regular established cycle. So I am confused. And is there a sage who instructed here.
Answer
Shalom Rav
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi A. Fried, shlita
A. She should be concerned about the regular cycle after the sighting, for example, if the cycle was on the 34th day, she should be concerned about the 34th day after the last sighting.
B. Since she has not returned to seeing on the regular cycle, she should be stringent about the average cycle.
C. If you contacted to get the opinion of the Gaon, Rabbi A. Fried, shlita, and were instructed otherwise, it is not a sage who instructed, because what is written here is the personal instruction of the Rabbi, shlita. Apparently, the listener did not understand the question precisely.
D. This does not pertain to the law that a woman does not establish a cycle during pregnancy and nursing, because here the concern is due to what was already established before pregnancy and nursing.
