Question
A person prayed, and only after he finished the prayer and removed his tefillin did he notice that there was actual excrement smeared on his garment. What is the halachic status of the prayer he already prayed — did he fulfill his obligation? And what is the law regarding the donning of the tefillin?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
If the excrement is exposed, he has not fulfilled his obligation of prayer, but he has fulfilled his obligation of tefillin.
If the excrement was covered by his garment, he has fulfilled his obligation of prayer.
