Drink in Middle of Night

Question:

Hi,
If someone wakes up in middle of the night and urgently needs a drink, may they drink water without first washing netilas yadayim?

 

Answer:

It is preferable for the person to wash his hands, even with a little bit of water, even without a cup, however if this is too hard to do, wiping one’s hands on the blanket, towel or any cloth etc., is sufficient to be able to drink.

Best wishes
