Shopping in the middle of a meal
Question
If a man left in the middle of the meal to buy more food, and spent two hours walking around different stores until he found what he was looking for, is it considered that he became distracted from his meal and that he should wash his hands again with a blessing?
Answer
Dear …!
Since the whole trip is for the purpose of eating, in order to buy more food, this is not considered becoming distracted from his meal.
