Question
With G-d's help. Hello.A woolen tallit katan where in one of the corners, two holes have merged into one, and naturally, the thread that was there fell out. What is preferable: a) to divide that hole with a cotton thread into two holes (thus having the advantage that all the threads are according to the same custom, of two holes, but there is the disadvantage - apparently - that it loses the significance of woolen tzitzit, because the threads on the corner depend on cotton), b) or to sew the threads in one hole (of course, to open everything first and redo the knots and windings). Thank you very much.
Answer
Greetings and blessings.
Answer from our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi A. Fried, shlita
It is permissible to use a cotton thread, and this does not lose the advantage of woolen tzitzit.
