Stains smaller than a dime
April 14, 2013

Question

During the shiva nekiim, if you see something of questionable color on your underwear smaller than size of dime it's fine? Or do you always need to show it to a Rav?

Answer

The leniency regarding stains smaller than a k'gris does apply fully during the clean days. Therefore, when you see a stain of any color on your white undergarments during the clean days and it is smaller than the size of a dime, there is no need to show it to a rav.
