Menstrual Blood Ask the rabbi

Greetings,

A woman in menstruation is considered unclean.

Is the menstrual blood itself unclean?

Does the very act of touching the blood defile?

If I touched menstrual blood without washing my hands, does the blood itself defile objects? Defiles me?

For example, during a cycle I turned on the water tap for taking, touched the tap after using the toilet and the tap was stained with blood. Should I flush the blood off the tap? A person who touched the blood after me was defiled because of me?

Is the blood itself unclean?

I would appreciate a detailed answer on the subject.

Thanks

The blood of the menstrual cycle does not have the laws of impurity, it is clear that having a hand (whoever touches it) has a policy of indiscretion, but today the impurity of Nada has no meaning. While the temple existed it had meaning.
