Urine on Clothes

Prayer

Question

Hi while going to the bathroom I got some urine on my clothing do I have to wash the clothing or is it enough to dry it in order to make blessing or pray?

Answer

Shalom!

Thank you for your question.

One is permitted to pray and recite blessings even it there is some urine touching his/her body. see Shulchan Aruch Siman 78-1, and M:B 2. It is also permitted if there is urine on clothes, especially on clothing that is covered by another garment, as is usually the case.
