==What is permissible before washing hands?==
# It is permissible to say Modeh Ani before washing hands. <ref> Mishna Brurah 1:8, Shulchan Aruch HaRav 1:6 </ref>
# It's not permissible to learn or even think Torah before washing one's hands. <ref> Mishna Brurah 1:8, Shulchan Aruch HaRav 1:6 </ref>
# One should wash one's hands before walking 4 amot. <ref> Mishna Brurah 1:1 </ref> However some are lenient in this regard. <ref> BeYitzchak Yikrah 1:2 comments that the tradition from the Gra that the Ruach Rah on hands was nullified with the death of Rabbi Avraham the Ger applies only to laws of the Zohar and not the Talmud Bavli and since this law is sourced in the Zohar, there is what to be lenient. </ref>
The Shulchan Aruch (4:13) writes that there is a doubt whether one makes a Bracha on Netilat Yadayim on the morning after staying up all night. Similairly, the Rama (ibid) comments that one should do netilat Yadayim without a Bracha.
