Question
If someone wore their friend's tefillin during prayer, is there a reason to wear their own tefillin afterward?
Answer
If the tefillin are suitable for his custom, and the tefillin were properly fastened on his head, he has fulfilled his obligation, and there is no need to wear his own tefillin. However, if the size of the tefillin was not accurate or the owner of the tefillin follows a different custom and purchased tefillin that do not match the wearer's custom, he should put them on again.
