Ivdu: According to the Psak of the SH”A, what 42 said. I have heard Poskim say that we can be Meikel like several other (minority) opinions in the Rishonim (e.g. that it’s not Abizraihu of Arayos, that it’s a D’rabannan, or that Niddah only applies to one’s own wife) because this is a case of Safek Pikuach Nefesh. Others have pointed out that laws of Pikuach Nefesh don’t apply to YVY cases and therefore we should follow the majority opinion and treat this as YVY. (The three potentials mentioned above are very minority opinions.)
