Question
It is written in the Shulchan Aruch that one should have 2 tzitzit in the front and 2 in the back. I have seen many people who do not strictly adhere to this and place 2 tzitzit together on the right side and similarly on the other side. Are they not fulfilling the mitzvah of tzitzit? [In the Aruch HaShulchan it is written that this is essential, and I have not seen anyone who disagrees.]
Answer
Hello,
Indeed, one should be meticulous about this.
