Question
In a place where it is impossible to wash hands for bread, what should one do?
Answer
If he is traveling and will not have water in the next 72 minutes, and even if he goes back there is no water within 18 minutes, he can wear gloves, etc., and a tissue does not help, but a plastic bag does. However, if he can walk a distance of 18 minutes to reach water, or if he is on the way and within 72 minutes he will reach water, he should make the effort to obtain it.
