Unwashed Shabbat Garment or Clean Weekday Clothing
Question
I have a Shabbat garment that is not washed, but not really dirty, and a weekday garment. Which is preferable to wear?
Answer
Hello, it is preferable to wear clean and washed clothing over Shabbat clothing, provided it is not clothing that disrespects Shabbat. This is because the main ordinance of Ezra is to wear washed clothing in honor of Shabbat, rather than wearing special clothing for Shabbat.
