Question

During niddah is it ok to use a shaver to touch up the back of my husband’s head/neck? Or does that fall under the same category as not passing something to each other? Thanks!

Answer

You may not touch up your husband’s haircut while you are niddah. Even if you are very careful not to directly touch him (which itself can be difficult to avoid in this situation), indirect touching is not permitted either.
