Question
With God's help, hello to the esteemed Rabbi, Someone asked a question: Yesterday I had stains, and today I received with a delay of almost three weeks. Now how to determine for the calculation of abstinence if it's a day or night cycle? I tried to find out how usually her stains or bleeding start? There was no clear answer, she replied: Depends, it seems I'm in menopause, everything is changing. What to do in a case where the woman doesn't remember how exactly it starts? (I am studying bridal guidance and it's important for me to know for direction) May you be blessed.
Answer
Hello and blessings
The general rule is that menstruation is considered regular bleeding and not a stain. Unless the menstruation for this woman usually starts with stains.
Therefore, if we do not know her usual pattern, we should calculate only from the onset of bleeding.
