Halacha 6 specifies that while most immersions occur by day, a nidah and a woman after childbirth must immerse at night.
Question 3

Halacha 8 states that even a nidah who immerses without intent is permitted to her husband, though immersion without intent is acceptable only for ordinary foods in the general case.
Question 4
Which type of vessel CANNOT be purified through mikveh immersion and must instead be destroyed?
Halacha 3 teaches that earthenware containers cannot be purified by immersion — Leviticus 11:33 states 'you shall break it,' meaning breaking is their only path to purification.

If a person immerses while their hair is tied up or knotted, what is the status of the immersion?
