Question
I washed my hands, and it seems to me that the water did not reach the entire hand. Should I wash that hand again, or dry my hands and wash anew, or perhaps it is not necessary?
Answer
Shalom Rav
According to the law, when washing a second time with a quantity of a revi'it [about 150 ml], there is no need to dry the hand first.
