Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 154

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

How does a woman establish a vest, and what changes once she has one? The Kitzur sets a vest by equal intervals, by bodily symptoms, or by a day or interval joined with a symptom, each fixed three times. With a vest kavua she has a chazaka of tahara outside those days, so the Kitzur sees no need for questions or bedikas. Being too stringent here can push a husband away, at the cost of pru u'rvu.

Key points

• The Kitzur fixes a vest haflaga only by three equal intervals between sightings.
• The Kitzur needs one symptom three times, right before her period, a vest noted as uncommon today.
• In a combined vest of day or interval plus symptom, the Kitzur worries only when both appear.
