Question

A Kiddush cup that was not washed before Kiddush and Kiddush was already performed, does it fulfill the obligation? And if it does, is it only when the cup was clean or even if it was not clean? Thank you very much

Answer

Hello Rabbi

Some have written that washing is essential.

However, according to the Mishnah Berurah, it is not essential.

Source

In the Gemara Berachot 51, it states that we have only etc., washing, rinsing, alive, and full.

And the Machzik Beracha states that these four things are essential.

However, in the Mishnah Berurah, Siman 183, Se'if Katan 9, it is written that 'full' is not essential, indicating that he did not interpret the Gemara like the Machzik Beracha.
