Haircut for husband by a Nida woman
A man whose wife is widowed and cannot get his hair cut by himself, nor can he have another man cut his hair because of the coronavirus crisis. Can he make it easier for his wife to cut his hair with a clipper?
It should be added that there is a point in getting a haircut before the holiday, and also that after the holiday there is a halachic and social prohibition against getting a haircut because of the days of counting (in certain communities until Shavuot).
I would appreciate an answer with sources.

In a patient who is not in danger, some forms of treatment are permitted, preferably with the cessation of clothing (so that there is no contact). A haircut is not a matter of affection, and perhaps there should be some leniency in this as well.
But I think that a haircut for the holiday is not something that should be taken lightly. It is not like a sick person who is not in danger, because it is a matter of mitzvah and not a need of the husband.
