| ===Laws that Disqualify Tzitzit===
| | # |
| | |
| #If the strings of one's Tzitzit tear but an amount of [[Reference of Measurements in Halacha#Kdei Aniva|kdei aniva]] (meaning, enough to tie a knot) is still remaining then the Tzitzit are considered kosher and one may make a bracha on them. However, it is ideal to fix the Tzitzit. <ref>Halacha Brurah 12:1 </ref> | |
| #The Shulchan Aruch brings two opinions regarding where the starting point of [[Reference of Measurements in Halacha#Kdei Aniva|kdei aniva]] needs to be. Rashi maintains that it is from the last double knot while the Ri maintains that it is from the first double knot. The mainstream custom is to hold like Rashi but one may rely on the opinion of the Ri. The Mishna Brurah and the Halacha Brurah disagree regarding reliance upon the opinion of the Ri. The Mishna Brurah says that one may not make a bracha on these Tzitzit and one may not wear them outside on Shabbat in a place without an eruv. On the contrary, Halacha Brurah says that one may make a bracha on these Tzitzit and one may wear them outside on Shabbat in a place without an eruv. <ref>Shulchan Aruch, OC, 12:3; Mishna Brurah 12:13; Halacha Brurah 12:8 </ref>
