Question

Hello, Is it permissible for a woman to listen to Havdalah while she is nursing? Can her husband perform Havdalah while sitting with his back to her?

Answer

Hello and have a good week

A woman can fulfill her obligation of Havdalah while she is nursing.

However, she should ensure to wash her hands after touching covered parts of her body.

Her husband can perform Havdalah only when he is not facing an uncovered part of her body.
