Realized I immersed with ring on

September 10, 2006

Question

I just went to the mikva and I realized when I got home that I had my wedding ring on when I immersed. Do I need to go back tomorrow night or am I ok? Thank you.

Answer

Whether or not you should repeat your immersion depends on your ring. If it fits snugly, then you should immerse again tonight. If it fits loosely, so you can be certain that water reached all areas of your fingers, then you are not required to immerse again.

With urgent questions such as these, we recommend calling our hotline.
