Question
On Shabbat, a person noticed that one of the knots on his tzitzit had loosened, and he inadvertently tightened the knot. What is the halachic ruling – did he transgress a Shabbat prohibition, and what is the status of the tzitzit afterward?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha
It is forbidden to tighten a tzitzit knot on Shabbat.
The tzitzit remains kosher, just as it was before he tightened the knot.
