Can someone please explain to me why menstrual blood is considered unclean? I'm not trying to start a fight, I really just don't understand it. I know it says in the old testament somewhere that menstrual blood is unclean, so I'm not sure whether it's just a Christian belief or if it also holds true to Judaism and Islam, but can someone please explain it to me? We know that menstrual blood is the lining of the uterus that would be used to sustain an embryo in the event of pregnancy, so how can this be considered unclean? Please don't use biblical passages if they just say, "And the Lord said this was unclean." If it says WHY, please do include scripture. I'm looking for an explanation of why it's unclean, not just where it says it's unclean, because I just don't get it. Thanks!
