- Q. Kevod Mori Horav Shlit’a. I go every day (when possible) to be Tovel (immerse) in our close to shul Mikva before davening (praying). When I come out I make effort to dry up as good as possible. Yet sometimes (depending on the weather) my hair may still a bit moist, since there are no hair dryers on that Mikva.
Besides I’m often a bit late and rushing not to loose the minyan. Is there a problem to put on tefilin if my hair is no yet completely dry? Would the slight moist be considered as a Chatzitza (non allowed separation) between the Tefilin and my head unless the hair is totally dry?
A. Horav Aharon Miller Shlit’a ruled that a bit of moist it is not considered a Chatzitza between the Tefilin and ones head unless the hair is actually wet and the moisture transfers.
