Question

I did a hefsek and moch which were good, but the first bdika of day one was bad. I redid the hefsek that evening for the next day to be day one, but I didn't redo the moch because there had been no flow, just a bad bedika.

Now I'm not sure if that was the right thing to have done. Is it acceptable? And is it okay lechatchila?

Answer

L'chatchila (ideally), a moch dachuk should be performed if you are performing a new hefsek on the same day you had a problematic bedikah. Nevertheless, as long as your new hefsek was performed in the late afternoon before sunset, your hefsek remains valid.

Please feel free to get back to us with any further questions.

B'Hatzlacha!
