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...

Hotel suite

My wife and I will be going with my parents to a hotel for a few days. We have a 2 room suite. Naturally my parents will be staying in the room with the bed and we will be sharing the sleeper sofa. It is possible that my wife will be Nidda then. What can ...

Stain before relations, period next morning

I usually get my period every 28 days or so. This month, I noticed a stain a bit early – 23 days. I had no hargashah and suffer from other vaginal health issues. In the past, I had staining and then nothing for days until my period actually came &nd...
