#5489 Beg, Borrow or Steal?

Question

Can one borrow without asking permission the Tefilin permission from others left in Shul when in need?

Answer

Although, in general we assume that a person is glad to let others use his Tefilin without approval. (Nicha Lei Lreinish Lemeabad Mitzva Bememonoy).

In our days that may not be correct as we wrote in question 2571: “Besides, even using someones taalis or tefilin without permission may not apply in our days, since we are more careful with the perspiration and sweat from others.”
