Question
If there is a bandage on the hand up to the finger joints, what is the ruling regarding washing, and is it necessary to wear a glove while eating bread?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
If it is possible to wash the exposed part, it should be washed, and there is no need to cover the hand.
If it is not possible to wash the exposed fingers, the hand should be covered with a bag or glove, or similar, during eating.
