Exposed Water for Hand Washing

Question

When placing a washing cup by the bed, does it need to be covered to prevent the water from being exposed, and if so, can one use this water in a pinch or is it better to go to the faucet?

Answer

Hello,

There is no obligation by law, but some are particular about this.
