Question
Is a person who goes to the Mount of Olives and from there sees the entire Temple Mount and the site of the Temple required to tear their clothes?
Answer
Certainly, one is required to tear according to all opinions when seeing the site of the Temple and the floor of the courtyard, and it is more severe than seeing the Wall. One may close their eyes and not look at the site of the Temple.
