Question
In a case of need, how early may one advance the washing and preparations before immersion? May it already be done in the morning?
Answer
Shalom u'vracha
Ideally, the preparations should be done as close as possible to the immersion.
However, in a situation of pressure or necessity, it is permitted to do them earlier as needed; only that before the immersion she should lightly rinse herself, slightly comb her hair, and examine her whole body to ensure that nothing has adhered to it.
And if she ate between the preparations and the immersion, she should brush her teeth well before immersing.
