[Avodah] Going up to Har HaBayis

[Goldmeier]

there is a machlokes whther a baal keri who has not had haarev shemesh 
(waiting for sunset) can go up or not. Most rishonim (not including 
Rashi) hold haerev shemesh is not necessary for a regular baal keri. I 
have been told that is how we pasken. Though I do know some people who 
go to the mikva twice before ascending, once the afternoon before, and 
again the morning of.

However, someone who has not had haerev shemesh, and is also a "mechusar 
kippurim" would not be allowed to go up. He would have to wait for 
haerev shemesh.
