If someone, let's say, went to the beach (at night of course) and got sand in his hair and it stayed in his hair, the next morning would it be considered a Hasisa (obstacle) for Tefilin?

@HachamGabriel At least there isn't sakanat nefashot.– Double AA ♦Aug 8, 2013 at 8:44

Depends on the situation. But please never swim at a beach at night!– Double AA ♦Aug 8, 2013 at 21:22

It is a Chatzitzah and must be cleaned. See Shulchan Aruch Horav 27:7 ("וה״ה בתפילין של ראש צריך ליזהר בדבר שלא יהא שום דבר חוצץ בין תפילין לשערו ועפר או כנה מתה נקרא חציצה").

Next question: if one has a Hasisa must he don Tefilin again to be Yose? Aug 11, 2013 at 14:00
