Question
Someone who was at the Western Wall and did not tear, because it was Shabbat, or acted improperly. Does he need to tear when he returns within 30 days?
Answer
He does not need to tear.
Source
Mishna Berura, Siman 561, S"K 17: "And one who sees Jerusalem within 30 days, even if he did not tear, such as one who lives in it, does not need to tear for the cities of Judah unless he left there and came to the cities of Judah after thirty days. And one who was born in Jerusalem, even if he grew up, does not need to bless, as in his childhood he is exempt, and when he grows up, he does not need to bless as he saw them within 30 days." And the poskim wrote that the same applies if he acted improperly and did not tear, because he no longer has such heat and sorrow.
