Counting the Seven Clean Days
Question
I performed the hefsek taharah yesterday [Wednesday] before sunset, when is my immersion day?
Answer
The hefsek taharah is not counted as one of the 'seven clean days', so your counting begins today, Thursday. The seven days will end next Wednesday. On Wednesday evening, you may immerse. The rule is always that on the same day of the week that the hefsek was done, the immersion will be on that day the following week.
