Question
From what stage in childbirth is a woman considered impure?
Answer
Hello
A woman becomes impure during childbirth in several ways:
A. When any bleeding begins.
B. Dilation of three fingers - 6 centimeters.
C. Strong contractions that make it difficult for her to move. [A situation that usually occurs in the delivery room].
D. Strong water breaking, which usually comes with bleeding [but dripping of water breaking does not render impure if no blood is seen in the water].
E. Stripping [manual separation of the placenta to speed up labor].
