Question
Are women obligated to wash their hands after meals before the Grace After Meals?
Answer
Hello,
When the obligation of washing hands after meals is by law, women are obligated to wash their hands after meals just like men.
In our times, some exempt from washing hands after meals because they do not eat with their hands. According to this opinion, washing hands after meals in our times is merely a custom, and therefore it is practiced by men and not by women.
