Holding a sheet with one’s wife, and on Shabbos
Question
If a man’s wife is a niddah, can they hold a sheet together as part of a game—he holds one side, she holds the other, and the children run underneath? Would that be a problem because of the halachos of niddah?And further, if they do this on Shabbos, is there any issue of making an ohel?
Answer
Shalom,
It is forbidden to hold an object together with one’s wife while she is a niddah.
There is no issue of ohel on Shabbos in this case, since it is being held by people.
