Intention When Tying Tzitzit – Jewish Law
Question
Hello Rabbi,
Is it permitted for me to study or listen to a lesson while I am tying tzitzit, if at the beginning of the tying I have in mind that it is for the sake of the commandment of tzitzit? Or is it preferable not to?
Thank you very much
Answer
In my opinion, yes. If at the beginning you had the proper intention, then all the rest is at least considered done without explicit intention but for its proper sake.
