Question
Is it permissible to wear a worn-out shirt over one's own shirt and tear it at the Western Wall?
Answer
It is permissible to wear a shirt over a shirt and tear the upper shirt.
Source
Since it is customary to follow the opinion of the Raavad in the laws of fasting, chapter 5, halacha 17, that only the upper garment is torn, it is therefore permissible to wear another upper garment.
