A Woman Touching a Man Over Clothing for Measurement
Question
My wife works in a shoe store, and to fit each customer with shoes, she inserts her finger along with the customer's foot. When the customer is a man, is she allowed to do so, of course, over the sock, or is it forbidden from age 9 and above?
Answer
Shalom Rav
She is not allowed to insert her finger for the purpose of measuring the shoe, and she should measure the size using another method.
