Question
Hello,
Does a person who wakes up several times at night to relieve themselves need to wash their hands and recite the Asher Yatzar blessing each time? Can they take a leniency and bless every second time to cover both times?
Answer
Hello,
Each time a person relieves themselves, they are obligated to recite the blessing.
If they wait and need to relieve themselves again, they will miss the first blessing they were obligated to recite.
Ideally, one should wash their hands once and recite the blessing. If it is very difficult, they can rub their hands and bless.
