May one use a friend's tallit without his knowledge to wrap oneself and recite a blessing?
Synopsis
The Mechaber permits taking a friend's tallit without his knowledge for temporary use to fulfill the mitzvah, on the grounds that a person is presumed to be happy for his property to be used for a mitzvah. One must refold it if found folded. Some later authorities note conditions and caution.
