In memory of Chaya Mirel bat R' Avraham

Hands stained with food coloring
15/11/2022

Question

I was making something with food coloring and now my hands are stained. Is that a chaztizah, or can I still dip if I am unable to remove it fully?

Answer

You should clean your hands thoroughly during your mikveh preparations. Any color that remains is not considered a chatzitzah and does not prevent you from immersing.

B’Hatzlacha!
