Checking 'Moch Dachuk' in Case of Doubt

Question

A woman performed a Hefsek Tahara and Moch Dachuk check on Tuesday and found a doubtful color on it, and she intends to consult a rabbi about it. On Wednesday, she wants to perform the Hefsek check again in case yesterday's check was not valid. Should she also perform the Moch check just in case?

Answer

Hello. Since the 'Moch Dachuk' check is not an absolute obligation. When checking out of doubt, there is no need to perform the Moch check.
