May one have water poured on one's hands by a person who has not yet washed their own hands in the morning?
Synopsis
The Mechaber prohibits taking water from someone who has not yet washed. The Mishnah Berurah clarifies that the prohibition is only on pouring (active washing) but bringing water is permitted. This prohibition applies only for morning washing, not meal washing.
