Question
I changed the clock from summer to winter time and noticed that the clocks were a few minutes behind. Should there be concern that she performed the hefsek not at the right time? I informed her that there was a delay in minutes, and perhaps she did not respond or did not understand, or did not want to enter into doubts. Usually, she performs the hefsek on time, so I assumed it was the same now, and indeed on the night of immersion, we fulfilled the mitzvah of onah, but it was on Shabbat when sleep is more prolonged, hence my heart is troubled.
Answer
Shalom Rav
The question is not clear enough.
However, if the woman says she did it on time, you can rely on her.
