Glue on the Strings on Tzitzis
Question
Is it permissible to seal the end of tzitzis strings with super glue to stop them from unravelling.
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
It is not forbidden to dip the bottom of the tzitzit strings in glue or other adhesive to prevent them from unravelling.
There are also those who tie a single knot at the bottom of the strings to prevent them from unravelling.
Either way is fine.
