# It is customary to fast if one's [[tefillin]] fall to the floor even if it was accidental. <ref> Mishna Brurah 40:3, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch of Rav Rephael Baruch Toledano, siman 10, who is valid to write [[tefillin]] and to buy from, seif 3, Iggerot Moshe OC 3:3. Daat Torah 44:1 however quotes poskim who say that fasting is only necessary if they fell because of negligence. Baer Heitev 571:1 and Kaf hachayim 40:6 write that it is preferable for one to fast on the day that the [[tefillin]] fell. Kaf Hachayim 40:7 writes that one doesn't need to fast at all if the [[tefillin]] fell from less than 3 [[Tefachim]] high. </ref> In some cases instead of fasting, it is better to give [[charity]], or do a taanit dibur, or learn for additional hours, and therefore a posek should be consulted. <ref> Az Nidberu 8:20 and Rivevos Efrayim 6:14 quoting the Steipler. Daat Torah 44:1 writes that if fasting is too hard for somebody they can be lenient and give [[charity]] and this is the case for someone who is physically weak, a torah scholar or teacher as well as somebody who is active in the community. This is also the opinion of the Chida in Chayim Sho’al 12, Ben Ish Chai Parashat Chayei Sarah halacha 18, Sh"t Yabia Omer 2:28 </ref> | # It is customary to fast if one's [[tefillin]] fall to the floor even if it was accidental. <ref> Mishna Brurah 40:3, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch of Rav Rephael Baruch Toledano, siman 10, who is valid to write [[tefillin]] and to buy from, seif 3, Iggerot Moshe OC 3:3.
