Veset: Difference between revisions

# A kavuah veset requires a bedika during the veset and if she didn’t do one then she is forbidden to her husband until she does a bedika. However, a veset that is not established, after the day passes, doesn’t require a bedika.<ref>Rashba (Torat Habayit 15b), Shulchan Aruch 189:4. Even though Shulchan Aruch YD 184:9 rules like the Rambam, the Shulchan Aruch retracted and held like the Rashba in Shulchan Aruch YD 189:4.</ref> This bedika can be performed at night.<ref> Badei Hashulchan 184:53 writes that you can do this check at night, even though the Rama in Siman 196 says ideally we should not to look at bedikot at night, that is only for the seven clean days where she has been nidda to this point. </ref>  She must conduct a full internal check, as she does for a hefsek tahara and during her 7 clean days.<ref>Pitchei Teshuva 184:16 quoting the Chavot Daat, Taharat Habayit 1:3:2, Shoshanat Ha'amakim 7:9 </ref>

# How many times does she have to do a bedika? Many poskim that ideally she should do a bedika in the beginning and the end of the veset.<ref>Chavot Daat 184:9 holds that she needs to have a moch dachuk the entire veset. Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 154:6 agrees. However, the Tosefta (Niddah 9:2) states that a women should do two bedikot during the veset. The Gra's emendation of the Tosefta is that she only needs to check once during the veset. [http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=14334&pgnum=231 Chazon Ish YD 80:20-22] holds that ideally she should do a bedika once at the beginning and once at the end of the veset. Taharat Habayit v. 1 p. 127, Shoshanat Ha'amakim 7:9, Badei Hashulchan 184:54, and The Laws of Niddah v. 1 p. 136 agree. Igrot Moshe YD 3:48 writes that within the veset the women should check herself a few times. </ref>  

# Some poskim hold that no bedika is necessary during a non-established veset (besides the Onah Beynonit which is treated like an established veset).<ref>The Bet Yosef 184:9 explains the Rashba as holding that there's no obligation to do a bedika during a veset sheino kavuah. [http://www.yutorah.org/sidebar/lecture.cfm/868467/rabbi-mordechai-i-willig/niddah-shiur-50-bedika-during-veset-sheino-kavuah/ Rabbi Mordechai Willig (Niddah Shiur 50, at the end of the shiur] and notes to The Laws and Concepts of Niddah by Rabbi Zvi Sobolofsky pg. 314) holds like this opinion. see there pg. 226</ref> Other poskim hold that initially a woman should do a bedika.<Ref>Badei Hashulchan 184:58 is strict if possible. The Laws of Niddah v. 1 p. 279 writes that a woman should do a bedika during a veset sheino kavuah and that's the minhag.</ref>
