Is it Permissible to Wipe One's Hands on Clothing?
Is it Permissible to Wipe One's Hands on Clothing?
Question
Hello, honored rabbi,
I wanted to know: if after netilat yadayim or washing one’s hands, is it permitted to wipe the hands on clothing, because I heard that this causes poverty.
Thank you
Answer
Greetings,
One should be careful not to wipe the hands on clothing, because it causes forgetfulness, as the Mishnah Berurah brought (siman 158, seif katan 45) from the Magen Avraham in the name of the Tzitz Eliezer.
With blessings,
Hillel Meirs
