May one visit the zoo with his wife when she is a Nida?
May one visit the zoo with his wife when she is a Nida?
Yes[1], as the restriction against “Tiyul” only applies when riding together and not when walking for sightseeing[2], although some are stringent.[3]
[1] Igros Moshe Y.D. 1:83 “And to walk together to visit friends or for a leisure trip, I do not see that it should be forbidden, as the prohibition that is written in the Rama chapter 195 Halacha 5 is only regarding traveling on a wagon or ship…..However, simply to walk together has no prohibition, as there is nothing to worry about.”; Kaneh Bosem 1:88-2; Shiureiy Sheivet Halevi p. 261; Taharah Kehalacha 14:47
[2] Rama 195:5;
[3] Aruch Hashulchan 195:20 [states that restriction applies even by walking]; Beir Moshe 2:70 [writes that restriction applies when driving to a sightseeing area, such as Niagra falls]; Nitei Gavriel 25:20 and 25
