#Most poskim hold that a ring should be removed, <ref> Shulchan Aruch 161:3, Mishna Berura 161:17, Iggeros Chazon Ish 1:4. The Rama 161:3 adds that even thoguh some are meikil if the ring is loose, one should be machmir even though water could get through. Kaf Hachayim 161:32 says that if you have an expensive ring that you are afraid to remove, then you can first pour a reviit of water on the right hand where the ring is, then move the ring a little and pour again, but when you move the ring it has to be with a hand that’s already been washed. Rav Chaim Kanievsky (Daad Note 251 footnote 249 says that this requirement to remove the ring is only for washing for a meal, and therefore if the ring is loose you wouldn't need to remove it for the morning netilat yadayim. According to Mishnah Berurah 161:19, Aruch ha-Shulchan 161:6, and Shu"t Rivevos Ephraim Vol. 1 Siman 127 if someone doesn't remove their ring for anything, then they also wouldn't have to for netilat yadayim. </ref> but if a loose ting wasn't removed you don't need to repeat the washing. <ref> Mishna Berura 161:18 </ref> | #Most poskim hold that a ring should be removed, <ref> Shulchan Aruch 161:3, Mishna Berura 161:17, Iggeros Chazon Ish 1:4.
