Question
Is it permissible to fulfill the mitzvah of onah on Rosh Hashanah?
Answer
The poskim have written that one should refrain from fulfilling the mitzvah of onah on Rosh Hashanah, except in two cases: 1. The night of immersion that falls on Rosh Hashanah, in which case it is a mitzvah to engage. 2. A person who has thoughts, and if he does not engage, he might fall into sin, it is better to engage permissibly.
In these cases, one should immerse in the morning before prayer to pray in purity.
