Question:
If one’s elbow touches clean clothes before washing in the morning, are the clothes okay to wear or must they be washed?
Answer:
The clothing are fine and there is no need to wash them. First of all because the tumah on our hands is only until the knuckles or perhaps the wrist, but not until the elbow. Secondly, even if the clothing was touches with your hands, they are ok to wear and don’t need to be washed.
Best wishes
