Question
Is it permissible to recite a blessing in front of the uncovered hair of a married woman? And what about his own wife? (A famous mohel told me he was permitted, but I knew it was forbidden).
Answer
It is forbidden to recite a blessing in front of the uncovered hair of a married woman. Even in front of his own wife's hair, it is forbidden.
Generally, one should turn away, but when there is no choice, such as at circumcisions and weddings, closing one's eyes is sufficient.
