Question
Is it permissible for me to look at my wife during her niddah period if I derive pleasure from the sight?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
Looking at covered areas is forbidden, even if there is no pleasure from the sight. Looking at uncovered areas is permitted, even if you derive pleasure from the sight.
