Question
It often happens to me that I wake up in the middle of the night with a strong need to use the restroom and then drink, and I find it quite difficult with the need to wash hands to bless the drink, as it is a burden and makes it hard to fall back asleep. Is there a way or advice through which I can drink without the need to wash hands?
Answer
Hello
In case of difficulty, you can rub your hands on a garment or another object and bless.
