Question
If at the first knot of the tzitzit I said it was for the sake of the mitzvah of tzitzit, but for some of the subsequent knots I did not say or intend this, are the tzitzit kosher? If not, is the only solution to untie the knots and retie them?
Answer
Hello,
If you did not tie the first knot on each of the four corners for the sake of the mitzvah of tzitzit, you need to untie and retie them.
However, verbal declaration is not mandatory, and intention is sufficient.
