Question
I wanted to ask if there is a permission to sleep at home when my wife finds it very emotionally difficult to sleep alone, especially since we are currently in a two-week-two-week situation, and at the end of Sukkot she is supposed to receive... and it will be extremely difficult for her like this.
Answer
Hello,
There is no exemption from sleeping in the sukkah due to external difficulty. It is necessary to ensure that this matter is eased for her. For example, someone can come and sleep with her.
Regarding marital relations, one can fulfill the mitzvah of marital intimacy at home and remain to sleep at home, and a person is not burdened to sleep in the sukkah after the mitzvah. However, on a night when the mitzvah is not fulfilled, there is no exemption.
