# If one | # If there is no water available for one to wash [[Netilat Yadayim]] before [[Shacharit]] (and one has not yet washed since [[waking up]]) or for [[Netilat Yadayim]] before [[Mincha]] or [[Maariv]] then in a scenario where one is sure one's hands are unclean (one has either been to the bathroom or touched an unclean area) and one is travelling, the person is required to travel up to 4 [[mil]] to get to water in order to wash [[Netilat Yadayim]], or up to 1 [[mil]] in the case of having to travel back the direction one came from in order to get water. If one is at home but has no water to wash one only has to travel up to 1 [[mil]]. <Ref>S”A 92:4 writes that if one does not have water for [[Netilat Yadayim]] for [[Shacharit]] one must travel 4 [[mil]] or go back 1 [[mil]]. Mishna Brurah 233:20 adds that prior to [[Mincha]] or [[Maariv]] if one knows that one’s hands are dirty because one touched an unclean area or went to the bathroom, the same rule of traveling for water applies. Mishna Brurah 92:18 writes that one who is sitting at home only has to travel up to 1 [[mil]]. </ref> | ||
# However, if one already washed upon arising and then had an interruption of a while to remove one’s thoughts from keeping one’s hands clean before [[Shacharit]] or prior to [[Mincha]] or [[Maariv]], then if there’s no water available then one only has to rub one’s hands on something that cleans them. <Ref> S”A 92:5 with Mishna Brurah 92:23, 26 and S”A 233:2 with Mishna Brurah 233:20 </ref> | # However, if one already washed upon arising and then had an interruption of a while to remove one’s thoughts from keeping one’s hands clean before [[Shacharit]] or prior to [[Mincha]] or [[Maariv]], then if there’s no water available then one only has to rub one’s hands on something that cleans them. <Ref> S”A 92:5 with Mishna Brurah 92:23, 26 and S”A 233:2 with Mishna Brurah 233:20 </ref> | ||
# One must wash | # One must wash before [[Mincha]] and before [[Shacharit]]. The same is true about [[Maariv]] and if there is a break between [[Mincha]] and [[Maariv]] and [[Mussaf]] or if there is a break between [[Shacharit]] and [[Mussaf]], one is required to wash before each one. <ref> Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 69:4. Mishna Brurah 233:17 adds that this washing is without a bracha. </ref> | ||
