Question
A person forgot to put on tefillin (not due to coercion or negligence) and remembered to put them on during twilight, which is still considered day according to Rabbeinu Tam, about 15 minutes after sunset, if he remembers correctly. Is it considered a day without tefillin or is it more lenient (for a Lithuanian Jew)? And does it matter how many minutes after sunset it was? (because I'm not sure about the 15 minutes)
Answer
Hello,
In any case, it is a matter of doubt concerning a Torah commandment, and one should be stringent in this regard.
During twilight, it is a doubt concerning a Torah prohibition. After twilight, it is definitely a Torah prohibition.
