Question
Hello Rabbi, I wanted to ask about clothing that lists components in percentages that are not wool or linen. Is a shatnez check required? (Components that are less than one percent in the garment are not listed in the garment's ingredients...) And if a garment contains wool or linen, is a check needed if a component that should contain wool is not listed? And is it necessary for every single garment or is a sample check sufficient, given that most stores, even those under our community, import clothing from abroad?
Answer
Hello and blessings
Products containing wool or linen need to be checked.
If it concerns several garments from the same production line, a sample check is sufficient.
Products that do not contain wool or linen do not require checking.
