Marital Relations During the Day
Question
Hi is it permitted to have relations in a dark room during the day, if that night it is going to be assured because of onah beinonis?
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
As a general rule, it is forbidden to engage in marital relations during the day. However, bedievd in a case of need like in your case, if the room is darkened to the point that they can’t clearly see each other’s faces then it is permitted to engage in relarions during the day.
“Daytime” for this purpose is defined as slightly before sunrise (“misheyakir”) and “night” for this purpose is nightfall (“tzeit hacochavim”).
