Question
I heard there is a permission to throw keys and the like to my wife when she is in Niddah, is this true?
Answer
Dear Rabbi,
The poskim (Jewish legal decisors) are divided on this issue. The Ashkenazi custom is to prohibit throwing just as handing directly from hand to hand. However, many Sephardim are lenient in this matter, but even according to the Sephardic custom, it is preferable not to throw directly to her, but to throw upwards so she can catch it. [There is no difference between a husband throwing to his wife and a wife throwing to her husband].
