# 3157 Don't Look
Question
Is it true that a woman during her period, should not look at the letters of an open Sefer Torah?
Answer
Remah (O.H. 88: 1) and Mishna Berura (ibid) indeed rule that at that time they should not look at the letters of an open Sefer. However, they may see it when closed. They should also not touch it then. (See Piskei Teshuvos 88: 9).
