Staples a chatzitzah?

November 3, 2014

Question

Case: A woman hits her head to the ground in an accident and gets temporary staples in the head that will be removed in 2 weeks. Is this considered a chatzitzah?

Answer

Unfortunately this would be considered a chatzitzah and the woman must wait until the staples are removed before immersing.
