Playing with Wife During Niddah
Question
Hello Rabbi, I am newly married, and from time to time I play board games with my wife, such as backgammon, checkers, and the like. Is this allowed during the days of niddah?
Answer
Hello,
There is no prohibition against playing with your wife during the days of niddah in the types of games you mentioned in your question. There are games that create an atmosphere of closeness and connection, and in such cases, care should be taken to ensure they do not lead to prohibited closeness.
