Question
Hello, When a person touches their own arm while putting on tefillin, only with the tip of the pad of one of the fingers on the right hand - is the hand considered to have touched covered areas and requires washing? Does it matter what percentage of the finger or perhaps how many fingers of the whole hand touched the area?
Answer
Hello and blessings
Washing is required.
There is no difference which area of the hand touched the arm.
