Orange-beige on bedikot

This Friday night, I did one hefsek and it came back orange beige, and I figured it was fine because it was after five bleeding days and I had no hargasha. I felt my period was totally done. Moch came back completely clean. I did a day 1 bedika in the mor...

Light brown on hefsek postpartum

Hi. I’m wondering if you have any tips on helping one to get clean faster to be able to make a hefsek tahara on time. Meaning, having less days of bleeding. Thank you.

Difficulty getting clean hefsek

For the last couple of cycles, I have been having difficulty getting a clean hefsek. I am not actively bleeding throughout the day (although underwear does get spotted and I see various stain colors on tissues). However, when I attempt a hefsek, it comes ...

Delayed hefsek – and then forgot

I pushed off doing the hefsek taharah for over a day since I will be out of the country next Monday & Tuesday. I have been clean two days already and was supposed to do it before shkiah tonight (Wednesday). I somehow forgot and realized at about 9:10,...

Forgetting hefsek and pills

I did my hefsek and moch dachuk today, but it may have been too late. It was after shekiah and a few minutes before halachic tzeit. The sky was not fully dark and I could still see the rays of the sun going down.
Lately I have been forgetting to do ...

Tiny red spot

On my first bedika of the seven clean days, there was a teeny red spot. Since then it's been clean. Is that bedika ok?

Post-menstrual brown staining

I typically wait until Day 6 of my period before performing a hefsek tahara because I know that I always have remnants following Day 5. Because I don’t want to be overly strict, I decided to do a hefsek on Day 5 this month. The hefsek was clear. The...

Should I ask about hefsek?

I am a newlywed and this was the first period in my marriage. At the end of my period (it was the 6th day), I performed a hefsek tahara last night and the color was a light brown. I learned that that is a questionable color. What is the ruling on this col...

Can she do one tomorrow mornin...
