Question
One wing of my tzitzit tore off, along with the threads that remained intact. I then sewed the wing back onto the tzitzit. Is the tzitzit kosher, and if not, how can I make it kosher?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
The tzitzit that was torn and sewn is certainly invalid. ['Made and not from the made'...].
Regarding the other three corners, if at the time the corner was torn, the garment had three corners, you need to untie all the tzitzit and retie them after there are 4 corners. However, if even at the time the corner was torn there was an obligation of tzitzit, such as it was cut in a way that made 5 corners, even if the torn corner was reattached, they do not become invalid, and you can leave the other tzitzit as they are.
