Stain during the Seven Clean Days

Question

I found a stain on my clothing during the Seven Clean Days. Can I continue counting, or do I need to perform a new purification pause?

Answer

If the stain is smaller than a 'gris' — slightly larger than a one-shekel coin, the stain is considered impure. However, if it is smaller, it is not considered impure. In any case, it is advisable to consult a rabbi knowledgeable in these laws, as there may sometimes be additional details that affect the ruling on purity or impurity.
