Question
For a woman who has given birth within the year, is it permissible to buy her a gift?
Answer
It is especially forbidden for her. It is permissible to buy a gift that is general for the household or for the baby, but not a gift specifically for her, and also not to write a personal congratulatory letter, only a general one.
