Question
Is it permissible to immerse utensils before prayer? Is it considered a necessity for the mitzvah? The question is about someone who has free time before prayer but no specific need to do so before prayer.
Answer
One should not immerse unless it cannot be done later.
Source
There is a contradiction in the Mishnah Berurah (Orach Chaim, Siman 89, Seif Katan 36; Siman 250, Seif Katan 2) regarding whether it is permissible to engage in heavenly matters before prayer, when it can also be done after prayer, and in practice, one should be stringent.
