Question
If there is doubt whether the examination was before or after sunset (an examination on one of the middle days of the seven clean days, not on the first or seventh day), and the examination is lost so it is unclear how the examination was conducted (the day before she forgot to check - if that matters), can she continue as usual?
Answer
Shalom Rav
A. An examination in the middle of the seven clean days is not mandatory, so even if it was at night or not conducted at all, she should continue the clean days as usual. The mandatory examinations are only the Hefsek Tahara, one examination on the first day, and one examination on the seventh day.
