Transcript
- 0:00OK, good morning. We are continuing Helkos
- 0:03Khatziza and we're doing Kufzadi khat reading in the.
- 0:08I will do my best to explain it. It's some of the halakhas of
- 0:12Khatiza are a little confusing because there's a little overlap
- 0:17between what's me Guardian, what's Homra.
- 0:19And then of course there are different opinions on parts of
- 0:23the halacha and how you define what's mockpit and what's not
- 0:27mockpit, what's makeup and not makeup and so many like what's
- 0:32for lanois and not and what somebody wants there to not be
- 0:36there. So it is a little bit of a
- 0:37confusing issue. Obviously whenever a woman goes
- 0:41to the mikvah, we all know that in general she removes
- 0:44everything and you avoid all Shilohs whenever there is.
- 0:49OK, let's anyway. But if there's areas when
- 0:53needed, of course, ask your of, you know, just to point out, I'm
- 0:57just going to recap a little bit on some of the things we pointed
- 1:00out or to explain better regarding Khatsita, just in
- 1:05case. Backtrack just in general about
- 1:08Khatsita. If it wasn't clear, if most
- 1:11people, it bothers them even once in a while and they want to
- 1:15remove it. So then we hold that that's a
- 1:18khatsitsa. Like if a woman removes her
- 1:21rings or jewelry when she needs dough, for example, if most
- 1:26women, if this woman wants to remove it sometimes or most
- 1:30women wants to remove it most times, then it's considered a
- 1:34khatsitsa. Even though most of the time
- 1:37it's not a problem. But because sometimes it's an
- 1:41they want to remove it, that makes it called mock beat.
- 1:44Doesn't have to be mock beat every day.
- 1:46It's just mock beat. When you're once in a while
- 1:48doing something that's considered a khatiza.
- 1:51Obviously anything that's bothering the woman that she
- 1:54would want to have it removed from her, we all call that a
- 1:56khatiza. We generally hold if it's she
- 2:00wants to remove it so it doesn't get ruined.
- 2:03That's called a khatiza. Again, hatsitsa when it's
- 2:06touching the skin and water doesn't get underneath it if
- 2:09it's loose. So then usually ikar again, we
- 2:12would say it's OK, but we're talking about hatsitsa where
- 2:16it's against the skin preventing the water touching.
- 2:18Also, let's say she needs to remove it sometimes for let's
- 2:25say it's for a mitzvah. There's a a reason why she needs
- 2:29to remove it. Sometimes it doesn't really
- 2:30bother her, but she needs to remove it.
- 2:32Sometimes, for example, OK, sometimes it needs to be removed
- 2:38to do something. So then the eczema doesn't
- 2:41bother her. So in these areas, it is a
- 2:44little bit of a Mahlogut. But let's say it for example, by
- 2:47filling, I think, I don't know if it's a Mahlogut.
- 2:49It could be, everybody agrees. Let's say it's filling at night
- 2:52is not the time to wear, it's filling.
- 2:54So therefore, even during the day, if a man needs to go to the
- 2:58mikvah, he has to remove his filling because it's often but
- 3:04the point is it's a considered a, it's an example of a
- 3:06khatsitza because sometimes he has to remove it, but it's not
- 3:10this amount of filling. He has a mind wearing filling,
- 3:13but I just he has to remove it because of that issue.
- 3:17So then it becomes a khatsitza. So let's say a woman, let's say
- 3:22a woman, I'm not holding of all the Siggas of gynecology, but
- 3:25let's say she needs to have something in in the Osomako in
- 3:32order, let's say to prevent, I don't know, miscarriage issues
- 3:36or whatever the issue is, but it's something that she needs to
- 3:39remove in order to do a bidika. Just whether I'm sure there's
- 3:45real ramifications she needs to remove it just to do the bidika
- 3:48in order to check for blood. So really it doesn't bother her
- 3:51and she wants it to be there, but it's in the way for doing
- 3:55the bidika. So then many will say that that
- 3:57is a problem. It is if it's beta sturium all
- 4:00the way inside. Well, depend if it's deep enough
- 4:04so that it's not an issue. OK, the question, the question
- 4:08is how, how deep does it need to be if it's Betasterium?
- 4:13So that's that's also a question mark because even betasterium
- 4:16places that are covered up, water needs to if water needs to
- 4:20be able to reach there now and that's, that's betasterium like
- 4:25you know where water can water can reach there like the mouth
- 4:28or the armpit. It's not usually visible because
- 4:31it's usually the way you you walk, it's usually or the way
- 4:34you close your mouth, it's usually covered.
- 4:37You can't see in there, so those are called beta styrene.
- 4:39So there water needs to be able Rauli Libias mime.
- 4:43It has to be where water could get there a little bit different
- 4:47is balua when it's totally inside your body.
- 4:49So there that's also not a problem.
- 4:51But anyways, in some of these cases, really just ask your but
- 4:57it's it might need if it's removable and you remove it
- 4:59sometimes so then it creates a problem or sometimes, let's say
- 5:03this is the least of an issue, but it's still Mahlokis.
- 5:08Let's say there's something there by the I don't know then
- 5:11how deep they put it, but in order there's something in
- 5:14there, let's say to prevent miscarriages or whatever it is.
- 5:18And you never need to remove it to check or whatever.
- 5:23But once every couple years she has a baby and for in order for
- 5:26the baby to leave, she has to remove it.
- 5:29So on that there's a Mahloka that that's called a
- 5:31hadzitzerna. This be Etsin.
- 5:33She never removes it, never wants to remove it, but she
- 5:36needs the baby to pass. So does that create a hatzitza?
- 5:40So there, that's the gonna be the least Mahmer of a situation.
- 5:45No, and I it is completely inside, is inside completely.
- 5:49That's that's a different. So that's that's balua and it's
- 5:55some of the things we just mentioned.
- 5:57We mentioned about braids. So we mentioned Friday.
- 5:59So we know braids are an issue la hatzilah.
- 6:02But but yeah, but it's not a really a hatzit.
- 6:04So we assume the water gets through, but So what do we do
- 6:07Friday night? So we mentioned, especially in
- 6:09Aritzi cell when everyone is Jewish, you let her go in the
- 6:11water and you just remove any goomi, any like a rubber band or
- 6:17anything else on the outside that can be removed.
- 6:20That's not an issue of Hilco Shabbos.
- 6:23But I also realized though, in some common in Hutzla arts that
- 6:26they had the menagas, they have the Goi remove it.
- 6:29The Goi removed the braids for her.
- 6:31So that's obviously just good to know if that's possible.
- 6:36OK, we spoke about hair. We spoke about hair that stuck
- 6:40to it to together through let's say because of sweat.
- 6:43And so it's stuck together and there's sweat little particles
- 6:49there. So that can create a hatsitsa if
- 6:52she is a mock beat. So we, we, we spoke about that
- 6:56already. But I what I do want to point
- 6:58out is because of that topic, because of that issue, major
- 7:02issue, the right, it's important that it's, you know, soaked and
- 7:06cleaned and combed. So therefore there's the hair is
- 7:09not stuck together. We're not talking about nuts,
- 7:12which could also be a problem, but we're talking just the hair
- 7:14getting stuck together. That can be a khatsitsa because
- 7:18she doesn't want that to be stuck together with, you know,
- 7:22pieces of sweat. So therefore she's not copied.
- 7:25So therefore there is the Menog by Spartium generally around the
- 7:30world, the the general minnock. I heard Moroccans less, but in
- 7:35general the minnock by by Kemat al the Spartan is that the woman
- 7:40she shaves with the blade. She removes all the hair before
- 7:44and this this way there's no hair to be a hatsitsa issue.
- 7:48So that is the minnock and that's what in general the women
- 7:51are supposed to do. And again, a Kala doesn't want
- 7:55to There's questions on can you break the minnock?
- 7:58Can you again, this is not me Din.
- 8:01This is only meatsad minhag in order to prevent the Kashash, I
- 8:04think like Axera type of thing. And it's or can they do how do
- 8:09they need to do Hataris Nadarian?
- 8:11Can they do Hataris Nadarian? So that's the whole not for now.
- 8:17This is only the pubic hair, but also Malcolm, correct, Not the
- 8:20hair of the head. That's that's clear.
- 8:23And there is a minhag by Hasidium to by some khasidian to
- 8:30shave their head. The head that's not also
- 8:33Malcolm, that's the head. And the reasoning for that is
- 8:36again, also of Khatsisa, a similar idea.
- 8:41Or when they dunk in the water in the mikvah, maybe all the
- 8:45hair will not be underneath the water.
- 8:47So that's the the source for that.
- 8:50Let's see. What else did we speak about?
- 8:52We spoke a little bit about the eyes.
- 8:54So I just want to point out that generally eye drops, right, it's
- 8:57a liquid, never going to be a problem.
- 9:00But if it's the cream, that is a real problem, right?
- 9:05Sometimes, if I remember correctly, an eye doctor once
- 9:08told me if you have a infection in the stomach, if you have an
- 9:12infection in the eye. So a liquid is usually the best
- 9:16way, best, best medication for it.
- 9:19If it's in the skin, then a cream will penetrate better.
- 9:25So again, I don't know as good, but that's that was his advice.
- 9:29If you're going to choose between liquid or a cream
- 9:31medication for the eye, it depends if the infection's in
- 9:34the skin or in the eyeball anyway.
- 9:37So that's but the cream is what's going to create a much
- 9:41bigger problem for Khatiza, especially if it's on the
- 9:45outside. So that is must be removed.
- 9:49If it's on the outside and probably on the inside, that
- 9:52must be removed. Again, it's the post scheme.
- 9:56It's unclear nowadays what's we're going to, we saw this,
- 9:59we'll see it again. There's certain materials like
- 10:02mud we had. We're going to have more liquids
- 10:06coming up. It's unclear exactly the nature
- 10:10and one, it's considered, you know, thick and sticky and one,
- 10:14it's considered liquidy, that it's not a problem.
- 10:17So that's just an important thing.
- 10:20Fine, we mentioned, I know we spoke about eyes.
- 10:24So I have a couple quick things to mention.
- 10:26Glass eyes. So some are Mako, right,
- 10:30synthetic. And then what's it called?
- 10:32Whatever glass eyes. So she wants it there for beauty
- 10:36now and generally speaking, the best.
- 10:39This is an important principle, the best type of anti khatsitsa
- 10:44for something not to be a khatsitsa is it when the woman
- 10:47wants it there for beauty, If it's there just to strengthen
- 10:51her for for a fua, whatever you might see written, or for a fua
- 10:57for health reasonings. So then that's often a problem.
- 11:01It's often a Khatziza. But if it's for Lanoy, me
- 11:05Ikaradin, we say it's not a Khatziza.
- 11:07So she wants it there Lanoy whenever she's wearing it, it's
- 11:10for Lanoy. It shouldn't be a Khatziza.
- 11:12So that's why many are Mako. Some say that the water actually
- 11:16does get underneath it. There's a little bit of airspace
- 11:19for water to get through, so it's not a problem.
- 11:21And some consider it a betasterium.
- 11:24And therefore, even if water doesn't get through, it's able
- 11:28to get through, but it's not super tight against the skin and
- 11:31therefore it is betasterium and water doesn't actually have to
- 11:36get there, only has to be able to possible.
- 11:40OK, but some are Mahmar Lekhadhila.
- 11:44I think I saw Cheva de Levi says it's Machmola Katrila if she
- 11:47removes it when she bathes. And it depends if it's there all
- 11:50the time or it depends again, I'm not an expert on hygiene, so
- 11:55I'm not quite sure what's normally done.
- 11:58But anyways, if she if she removes her for bathing, so that
- 12:01makes it a little bit worse, more problematic.
- 12:04Ask your Rob. Similar concept is contact
- 12:08lenses. Some say again, it's Smutter
- 12:09because she wants it there. It's for vision and there's a
- 12:13little bit of it's put in there with water.
- 12:15The eyeballs always have moisture water over them and
- 12:18therefore it's not a real khatsitza.
- 12:21There's a hibor of mime, but some again are.
- 12:23Many are Machmer. I think women are usually told
- 12:27to remove their contact lenses and Betty Evitt, I guess ask for
- 12:32Shila and they're a little bit worse because contact lenses,
- 12:36woman. They remove them every single
- 12:39day when they go to sleep, get it off might make a difference
- 12:42what type of contacts, right? That might also depend and if
- 12:45it's the hard or the soft. OK, we mentioned make up again.
- 12:50So if it's Lanois, it's not a problem.
- 12:52And when it's put inside the eyeball, we said it's OK because
- 12:55either it basically dissolves away with the tears, which is
- 12:58why we said if even if it's on the outside and she blinks a
- 13:02lot, it's because the tears wash them away.
- 13:05So anyway, so in the eyeballs, we assume it's not a problem is
- 13:08either it's done for beauty or it's done even if it's for a
- 13:11fua, it washes away. And it's not a Khatziza if it's
- 13:17on the outside. So then it can be a can be a
- 13:21khatziza either because if the case is it's for a FUA and she
- 13:27really doesn't want this extra khol or extra gook around her
- 13:30eyes. Also, even if it's make up it's
- 13:33often a problem because obviously when she's wearing it
- 13:37and walking on the street she wants it.
- 13:40But then as soon as she gets into the water, make up can
- 13:42often run and get a little smudged and messed up.
- 13:46So as soon as she goes in the water, it's now she doesn't want
- 13:50it anymore because it's ugly, it's smudged around.
- 13:53So therefore by definition, it can be considered a real
- 13:57Khatsitsa. And I'll just point out, we
- 14:00again basically had this a little bit the post can point
- 14:03out. And generally speaking, if it's
- 14:06going to be painful for her to remove, OK.
- 14:08It really depends what the situation is.
- 14:10If it's going to be painful for her to remove or it's dangerous
- 14:14for her to remove. In general, we're going to
- 14:17assume it's not a Khatsitsa because she wants it there.
- 14:20And whatever the situation is, I know each case goofo, but
- 14:24basically in usually it's not a problem.
- 14:26You leave it right. We we don't have a remove scar
- 14:31scabs that she's going to bleed and be painful.
- 14:34At least we mentioned that also is interesting to point out in
- 14:39not to if a woman has acne or pimples, she should not scrape
- 14:44them in order to to pop them or to remove the the layer on top
- 14:48again, pus on the inside. You mentioned it's 100% not an
- 14:51issue, but also it can cause scarring and the Allah has a
- 14:57generally speaking, we do not want her to suffer.
- 15:00We do not want to cause any scarring and women should not do
- 15:04anything that's going to cause scarring as well, right.
- 15:09So we did have Khata teen. So we said there at Smutter, you
- 15:12just bathe, soak it. And therefore, and that's really
- 15:15solves most of the issues, most of the real problems.
- 15:19If you soak the it's a it's OK, especially if you comb the hair.
- 15:23Generally speaking, it's going to be fine.
- 15:25We're going to get to a cube. A few more details inside.
- 15:28Let's let's read inside a little bit.
- 15:30But those are the basic principles.
- 15:33Tet vav hadio vahala vahadavashi hadam srafatina.
- 15:37So ink, milk, honey, maybe it means date honey or bee honey.
- 15:44The blood and the the liquid, the SAP from the figs Srafa
- 15:50tooth from, I don't know, some kind of berries, Srafa karuv,
- 15:57boxers, carrots. There you go.
- 16:00Sraf Ashikuma from anyways, all the other kinds of figs evasion
- 16:06that are dried, they are hotsitzin.
- 16:08If they're Allah, sorry, evasion hotsitzin.
- 16:12If it's dry, the liquid so it's thicker and stickier, so then
- 16:15it's a katsitza. If it's Lakhim, if it's very
- 16:19moist and runny, then it's not a Katsitza, Shahar,
- 16:23cholesterolphim, Afido, Lakhim, kotsitzin, but all other kinds
- 16:27of saps, even if they're liquidy, they are kotsitz.
- 16:31Then nowadays we're not really sure what's the difference and
- 16:35we're just not more for all of them.
- 16:37OK, and let's go on Ted Zein dumb Shanisrak babasar afilo la
- 16:45hosez. So this is dumb.
- 16:48Oh, I forget the exact translation of Nisrak.
- 16:54Any any runny fresh bleeding is not a is not a hatsitza, right,
- 17:00But it's it's so it's because it's it's attached if it's thick
- 17:05dried out blood. So that's for sure going to be a
- 17:08problem. I'm assuming Nisrak is dried and
- 17:11crusted. Yeah, right.
- 17:16So that's so it's it's it's attached and it's either very
- 17:20thick or and just, you know, in the process of drying and
- 17:23congealing or scab. So those you just rinse with hot
- 17:27water, soak a little bit and it'll come right off.
- 17:29That's and that's necessary to remove, to remove.
- 17:32OK, Yudzai seva shudzova tanashim alpinem via dam.
- 17:38So now what about dyeing that they you have on on your hands,
- 17:42nails, your body, face, nail Polish, say if you have dye and
- 17:48let's say R Roshan Ena Fautzitz. So this is is all these things
- 17:52are not a Fatita. It's all done for beauty and
- 17:55they're putting what it is. I mean for hair, it's permanent.
- 17:59I will mention they are we'll we'll keep reading.
- 18:02But there are the times when it's really a problem.
- 18:05Now the Khatila women remove all the nail Polish.
- 18:07That's across the board. That's the custom.
- 18:10But Miika, I didn't. If a woman's not removing her
- 18:15nail Polish and it looks great, then you let her, you let her go
- 18:19to the mikvah so she doesn't go home without going to the
- 18:20mikvah. The bigger problems are let's
- 18:25say it's in really bad condition and it's chipping and it looks
- 18:28terrible and you know as soon as she goes home she's going to
- 18:31want to take it off anyway. So that's when it becomes a
- 18:34Shiloh. So you should either remove it
- 18:36or repaint. Re nail Polish, OK, I
- 18:43understand. I understand.
- 18:46So the real topic here is by correct.
- 18:51So nail Polish with has no mushes has basically the same
- 18:54din because it's Lanois and you want it to be there.
- 18:58However, you're right the the Icra Serbia here is more no
- 19:02mamashus or henna die. Like you mentioned, she doesn't
- 19:06like the henna die. She can't remove it.
- 19:08So any any kind of mamashus, anything that doesn't have any
- 19:12mamashus ink pen or we're going to see this Even so we say try
- 19:18and remove it. But if you can't, it's not a
- 19:20Khatsitza. There's not there's no mamashus.
- 19:22That's not a problem. And behind me who shoots Sabah,
- 19:27the adults have wrote in a hot sit and a painter, even if it's
- 19:33actually has some mushes still stuck on because it doesn't
- 19:39bother the painter. The painter, this is his
- 19:41business. Everyone knows he's a painter.
- 19:44He might actually want to have paint on his clothing on his
- 19:46hands. So people know he's a painter,
- 19:48right? It's like advertisement.
- 19:50So anyways, that's all right, nothing better than word of
- 19:53mouth or your your your own self is even better.
- 19:56So that is not considered a khatsita because it's you're not
- 20:01mafia doesn't bother you. Fine, I got but hey, me
- 20:06someone's he's a show hate for a living.
- 20:07Oh, Khatsab or a butcher Vyada Tamir Manokhod Badam in a hose.
- 20:12It's his hands are always covered in blood.
- 20:15It's not a khatsita. It's a Robe Binet Umanozo in a
- 20:18macpidium. Because you don't go after bin
- 20:20Robe Binet Adam. So you're for this issue, you go
- 20:24after robe Vinay, your competition or your your
- 20:27colleagues. And so therefore it's not A and
- 20:31so that's the the customers. You always walk around like
- 20:34that. It doesn't bother you.
- 20:35So then it's not a cuts pizza. It's not called makbud.
- 20:39OK, you're correct. So what?
- 20:42So I should talk a Tatsipura and this just means dirt that's
- 20:45below the nails, fingernails or nails.
- 20:49So look, can I get Abbasar that go beyond That's not that's
- 20:52beyond the skin, the toe or the finger hotsits.
- 20:56It is a definite Khatsitza. But can I get habasar
- 21:00Enochotseitz? But if it's where the where the
- 21:05skin is, it's underneath. If you're not mock, but it's not
- 21:08a Hoseitz. Oh, but sex Taka tetsy porn, I
- 21:11feel can I get Abbasar Hoseitz. But if it's dough that's
- 21:15underneath your finger where the underneath your nail where the
- 21:18finger still is, right, There's a little area where it's food.
- 21:22Dirt can get stuck in there, but it's really a negative finger.
