Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 153 Part 1/2

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

What does the Kitzur ask of a couple once she becomes nida? Any drop of uterine blood makes her nida until seven clean days, and a stain not totally red yet not totally white goes to a rav. Then come the harchakos at home, from touching and eating to beds and benches. The separation is described as Chazal's counsel for the marriage, and the purity learned is tied to preparing for Kabbalas HaTorah.

Key points

• For a stain not fully red, yet not fully white, the Kitzur has her present the question to a rav.
• The Kitzur forbids the husband sitting on her designated bed, even when she is absent.
• A footnote in the edition read cites Reb Moshe Feinstein permitting a pleasure drive if seated so they cannot touch.
