("And he did not defile his neighbor's wife"—meaning that he did not encroach on his fellow's trade, and "he did not come near a menstruant woman"—meaning that he did not benefit from charity funds"—Sanhedrin 81a; and also: "One who encroaches on his fellow's livelihood is as though he had come upon his wife"—R. Nachman of Breslov / Likkutei Moharan, Torah 23, 3.)
