Relations and 5-day minimum
13/03/2022

Question

Hi, can I count today (Sunday) as the first day of niddah if I saw blood today but had relations last night?

Answer

Yes. The first day of the 5-day minimum is the day on which you became niddah, even if you had relations the night before. In fact, the minimum wait was specifically designed to cover a situation where bleeding begins on the same day that intercourse took place. Please see our article on the Minimum Wait for more details.
