Eating Leftovers of a Wife in Niddah
Question
Is there an issue if, while I am in niddah, I eat a roll and do not finish it, and then give the remainder to my husband?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
A husband is prohibited from eating leftovers of food that his wife has eaten, as this is something typically done between close people and can evoke affection. However, if he does not know that you ate from it, for example, if he thinks a child ate the remainder, you are permitted to give it to him to eat without telling him that you ate it.
