**מִצְוַת עִנְיַן טֻמְאַת נִדָּה שֶׁטְּמֵאָה וּמְטַמְּאָה** – לִהְיוֹת הַנִּדָּה טְמֵאָה וּמְטַמְּאָה אֲחֵרִים. שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ויקרא טו יט) וְכָל הַנֹּגֵעַ בָּהּ יִטְמָא עַד הָעָרֶב.

**Sefer HaChinukh, translated by R. Francis Nataf, Sefaria 2018:**

שֹׁרֶשׁ הַמִּצְוָה וּקְצָת פְּרָטֶיהָ, נִכְתֹּב כְּמִנְהָגֵנוּ בְּלָאו דְּנִדָּה בְּסֵדֶר אַחֲרֵי מוֹת (מצוה רז) בְּעֶזְרַת הַשֵּׁם.

וְנוֹהֶגֶת בְּכָל מָקוֹם וּבְכָל זְמַן. וְהָעוֹבֵר עָלֶיהָ וְלֹא הִתְנַהֵג עִמָּהּ בְּטֻמְאָה, וְכֵן הִיא שֶׁנָּהֲגָה בְּעַצְמָהּ מִנְהַג טָהֳרָה בִּטֵּל עֲשֵׂה זֶה מִלְּבַד הָעֹנֶשׁ שֶׁיֵּשׁ בָּהּ, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנִּכְתֹּב לְמַטָּה בְּעֶזְרַת הַשֵּׁם.

**Sefer HaChinukh, translated by R. Francis Nataf, Sefaria 2018:**
And [it] is practiced in every place and at all times. And one who transgresses it and does not act with her [according to her] impurity — and likewise if she, herself, acts [according to] the practice of purity (and not impurity) — has violated this positive commandment, besides the punishment that there is with it, as we shall write below with God’s help.
