Blood on finger while wiping
March 18, 2021

Question

I’ve been having spotting the last week and one day when I was wiping, I accidentally got blood on my finger. Before I wiped, I waited 15 seconds and the stain on my finger was about the size of a gris but not larger. Did the stain on my finger make me a niddah?

Answer

Since you waited fifteen seconds, what you saw on your finger may be treated in accordance with the usual laws of stains. In this case, given that the staining was not clearly the size of a gris or more, it may be disregarded.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
