Question
Hello,
Does touching ear discharges require washing hands for prayer, study, or blessing?
Answer
Hello
According to Halacha, touching ear discharges does not require washing hands.
However, it should be noted that touching inside the ear canal is considered touching covered areas, and the touch itself requires washing hands.
