One Halakha Closer to Becoming an Eshet Hayil


B''SD
12 Heshvan 5772

6. (part b)
This is the procedure for someone who does not need to take care of her needs (use the restroom):
a. She should wash netila
b. make a berakha
(Barukh Ata Ado-nai E-lohenu Melekh ha'olam, asher kideshanu be'missvotav ve'ssivanu al netilat yadayim)
c. and then dry her hands AFTER making the berakha.


However,  In the case where one has to take care of her needs in the form of solid wastes, she is therefore not able to make a berakha, so she should


a. first wash netilla WITHOUT A BERAKHA
b, then take care of her needs,
c. then wash netilat yadayim again, but this time WITH A BERAKHA,
d. and lastly dry her hands.
(The berakha recited after using the restroom will be discussed in subsequent Halakhot)

If she has only liquid wastes, she can still make a berakha and therefore should follow the first set of steps. (do netilat yadayim, make a berakha and dry hands before she takes care of her needs)
