How should one with a bandaged wound on the hand perform ritual handwashing?
Synopsis
A person with a bandaged wound only needs to wash the uncovered portion of the hand. One must avoid touching the bandage so that water resting on it does not return and defile the hand. Alternatively, pouring a full revi'it over the hand at once eliminates the concern.
