Wet Garment During Prayer
Question
If one touches a wet garment during prayer, possibly with urine, must they wash their hands?
Answer
Shalom Rav
If one touched a garment soaked with urine, and it is wet enough to wet another surface, they must wash their hands.
However, if there is only moisture that does not wet the touching hand, washing is not required.
When a garment is wet, and it is unknown what it is wet from, there is no need to suspect it is urine.
