Question
My wife is suffering from sores in the vaginal area and is unable to perform examinations during the seven clean days. What should she do?
Answer
According to the basic law, it is required to check every day of the seven clean days twice a day. However, in a situation of difficulty, it is permissible to allow one examination on the first day of the seven clean days and one examination on the seventh day. Therefore, in such a case, she should go to a 'halachic nurse' who specializes in this area, and she will perform the three required examinations for her: the hefsek tahara, an examination on the first day of the seven clean days, and an examination on the seventh day, thus allowing her to immerse according to the law.
