Question
Is someone who has touched hair required to wash his hands when he wants to recite a blessing or to study (Torah)?
Answer
If he touches deep within the hair, he must wash his hands, but if he only touches on top of the hair, he does not need to wash his hands. There is no difference between under the kippah and outside the kippah; any place within the depth of the hair of the head is considered a place of perspiration, and that which is not in the depth is not.
