Question

Is it permissible to stretch the length of the tzitzit and the threads to meet the required measure or not?

Answer

Shalom Rav

I understand that your question pertains to someone whose threads are too short. And only when they are stretched do they meet the required measure.

The measurement is according to their regular state, and it is not sufficient for them to meet the measure only when stretched.
