Wife’s Blanket in Niddah Period

During the Nidah period, may a husband sleep with a blanket that his wife usually uses, but is not using at the moment?

Appreciate if you can include mekoros and if there is a way to rectify if this was already done and was ossur. (i.e. would it help if the wife says she will no longer use this blanket so that it is no longer considered hers although she did not declare this before he used it?)

Answer:

To my knowledge there is no prohibition against using one’s wife’s blanket during the Niddah period.

There is a prohibition against sleeping on her bed (which applies to her bed at present), but not against using her blanket.

Best wishes.
