# According to Ashkenazim, after daybreak <ref> Regarding [[Netilat Yadayim]] and Birkot HaTorah, it’s clear that if they are to be made, they shouldn’t be said until Alot HaShachar.

Regarding Birchot HaShachar, Kaf HaChaim 46:49 writes that one can say all of them at [[Chatzot]], however, Piskei Teshuvot 46:14 rules that one should wait until Alot HaShachar. Regarding Tallit, S”A 18:3 rules that one may not make the Bracha until [[MeSheYakir]]. </ref>, one should use the bathroom, thus dirtying one’s hands, wash his hands for [[Netilat Yadayim]] with a Bracha, and then say [[Asher Yatzar]]. <Ref> <span id="netilat"></span> | # According to Ashkenazim, after daybreak <ref> Regarding [[Netilat Yadayim]] and Birkot HaTorah, it’s clear that if they are to be made, they shouldn’t be said until Alot HaShachar.

* The Rosh ([[Brachot]] 9:23) writes that the reason a person must wash his hands in the morning is that one's hands almost certainly touched an unclean area. The Rashba (responsa 1:191), on the other hand, writes that the reason is that a person is created anew each morning. The Bet Yosef 4:13 writes that according to the Rosh, one who stays up all night doesn't have to wash because one can ensure that his hands stay clean, while according to the Rashba, one is created anew whether he slept or not. Because of this dispute, S”A and Rama 4:13 rule that one should wash without a bracha. Magen Avraham 494, Taz 4:9, Beiur HaGra 4:13, Birkei Yosef 46:12, and Mishna Brurah 494:1 agree. See, the Bach 4, Aruch HaShulchan 4:12, and Maaseh Rav (#2) who argue that one who didn’t sleep can say the Bracha. | * The Rosh ([[Brachot]] 9:23) writes that the reason a person must wash his hands in the morning is that one's hands almost certainly touched an unclean area.

* Hagahot Rabbi Akiva Eiger 4:12 writes that if one went to the bathroom, one can make the bracha. Olat Tamid 4:8, Eliyah Rabba 4:8, and Pri Megadim (E”A 494) agree. Artzot HaChaim 4:1 and Chaye Adam 7:6 seem to agree as well. Thus, Mishna Brurah 4:30 rules one should use the bathroom, thus dirtying his hands, wash his hands with a Bracha, and then say [[Asher Yatzar]]. | * Hagahot Rabbi Akiva Eiger 4:12 writes that if one went to the bathroom, one can make the bracha.

* Some achronim (Nitei Gavriel 18:1, Weekly Halacha Discussion, vol 2, p. 363, Halachically Speaking vol 7, issue 6, p. 9) quote the Mishna Brurah as saying that one should use the bathroom and leave out dirtying one’s hands. Rabbi Mordechai Willig and Rabbi Hershel Schachter (cited by Halachipedia Article #22) explained that although the Mishna Brurah certainly meant to be precise, one can make the Bracha even if one merely touches an unclean area of the body. | * Some achronim (Nitei Gavriel 18:1, Weekly Halacha Discussion, vol 2, p. 363, Halachically Speaking vol 7, issue 6, p. 9) quote the Mishna Brurah as saying that one should use the bathroom and leave out dirtying one’s hands.

* Derech HaChaim 1:17 adds that even by touching an unclean area, one can make the Bracha. Beiur Halacha s.v. Veyitlem agrees. Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (Halichot Shlomo 2:24), however, argues that it is insufficient to touch an unclean area. | * Derech HaChaim 1:17 adds that even by touching an unclean area, one can make the Bracha.
