Maharach Or Zarua Responsa
Q - A woman, as a result of cohabitation, detected a discharge of blood. However, the color was different from that of her normal flow of blood. What is the law?
A - If she did not detect the discharge of blood, until after the period of time it takes to leave the bed and wash her loins, there need be no apprehension concerning this discharge. It is my opinion that, even if she detested the discharge, within this period of time, she is not considered ritually unclean.
When I was in Neustadt, I discussed this matter with R. Obadiah.
However, I do not want you to rely upon my decision until you show my reply to your rabbis, so they can carefully read my opinion, and then write me their views on this matter.
