Question
Is it permissible to wash hands on the ground in a park or forest [there is an eruv]?
Answer
Hello,
In a public park where they want grass to grow, it is forbidden according to all opinions. In a place where they do not care at all if the grass grows, there is a dispute whether it is permitted, but one should be stringent in this matter.
