Question
I know that one should dry their hands before washing. I'm a bit nervous about this matter. I would like to know the halachic definition.
Answer
Shalom Rav,
According to the law, there is no prohibition when washing hands with a quarter or more [-approximately 150 cc at most].
Even when washing with less than a quarter, the issue arises only when the hand is wet to the extent of being able to wet something else, meaning if one were to touch something, it would be wet enough to wet something else.
