Caring wife on wheel chair

The Rav Name: Rabbi Boaz Yurkowitz

My wife is sick and in need of my caring. How should we act during the time she is NIDA?

Generally, there is no permeation to violate the prohibitions of NIDA. Therefor you should find someone who can aid your wife (even if it will require payment). Of course that is critical, life and death situations there’s no question you should help. Besides for that, any action that does not require direct contact is also allowed.
