(No source, but I've seen in all shuls that read the Haftarah out of a scroll that they touch it with their hands, and that was the explanation my Rav gave, as that is my Yeshiva's minhag as well.) | |

| Apr 1, 2016 at 18:08 | comment | added | mevaqesh | Rav Herschel Shechter has a shiur on this on YUTORAH. He says that it is a matchlock Rishonim whether this applies to Megillah (citing Tur IIRC). There is also a dispute whether washing one's hands in advance renders contact with a Torah scroll permissible. Accordingly, touching a Megillah after washing one's hands is a sfek sfeka, and is permissible. | |
