Looking at Wife for Medical Purposes
Question
Is it permitted to look at that area of the woman’s body in order to apply ointment, so that we can fulfill the mitzvah—since without it, it is extremely painful and not possible?
Answer
Shalom u'vracha
It is permissible to look for the necessary purpose, but not beyond what is required.
