Question

Is it assur to touch the Kotel while niddah?

Answer

Thank you for reaching out to us!

There is no prohibition of touching the Kotel while in niddah, and we are not aware of any such custom. There is a prohibition of ascending to the Temple Mount while in niddah, but that does not apply to the Kotel.
