# If a person touches his shoes he needs to wash his hands.<ref>Bet Yosef 4:18 | # If a person touches his shoes he needs to wash his hands.<ref>Bet Yosef 4:18 quotes the Tashbetz 276, Avudraham Netilat Tzipornayim, and Mordechai Brachot 194 who write that one who removes one's shoes needs to wash his hands. Shulchan Aruch OC 4:18 codifies this. Why does a person need to wash their hands after removing his shoes? | ||
* Dirt: Mekor Chaim 4:18 writes that removing shoes only requires Netilat Yadayim if one touches them. Eliya Rabba 4:13 learns from the Mekor Chaim that the issue of removing one's shoes is that they get dirty and then they needed to be washed. Artzot Hachaim 4:79 and Mishna Brurah 4:41 agree. Lev Chaim 2:2 isn't sure if the concern of dirt is because of the dirt on the ground or because of the sweat from the feet. | |||
* Ruach Raah: Mor Ukesiah 4:18 suggests that it is because of ruach raah. Rav Ovadia in Yabia Omer 5:1:4 suggests that as well based on the Maaseh Avraham 4 who says that one may not walk barefoot because of the ruach raah on the ground.</ref> | |||
# If a person removes his shoes or puts them on without touching them he doesn't need to wash his hands.<ref>Olot Tamid 4:12 writes that if one removes one's shoes without touching them he still needs to wash his hands. However, the Magen Avraham 4:19, Eliyah Rabba 4:13, Mekor Chaim 4:18, and Mishna Brurah 4:41 argue that it only applies if one touches one's shoes with one's hands. This is relevant to Birkat Cohanim (Shulchan Aruch 128:5) and Tisha B'av on Motzei Shabbat even shoes are removed after Barchu (Shulchan Aruch 553). </ref> | # If a person removes his shoes or puts them on without touching them he doesn't need to wash his hands.<ref>Olot Tamid 4:12 writes that if one removes one's shoes without touching them he still needs to wash his hands.

# If a person touches his socks he doesn't need to wash his hands.<ref>Chavot Yair in Mekor Chaim 4:18 writes that the need to wash one's hands after touching one's shoes doesn't apply to socks. He seems to understand the issue of touching shoes because of dirt as the Eliyah Rabba 4:13 writes. Yabia Omer 5:1:4 discusses this. He quotes the Lev Chaim who says that if shoes are dirty because of the ground then socks aren't included but if they're dirty because of the sweat of feet then they are included. Rav Ovadia adds that if the reason for not touching shoes is because of ruach raah then it doesn't apply to socks. He concludes that we can be lenient on socks.</ref> | # If a person touches his socks he doesn't need to wash his hands.<ref>Chavot Yair in Mekor Chaim 4:18 writes that the need to wash one's hands after touching one's shoes doesn't apply to socks.
