If one sleeps through the night with hands in water must one wash hands for netilat yadayim in the morning?

    It seems you are trying to come up with a situation where the ruach raah will not happen. However, let's look at a case where one needed to wash after waking up and instead of pouring over them, placed his hands in water. The Shulchan Aruch in siman 4 siff 12 says shaking ones hands in water will help for krias shema and tefila but won't take of ruach raah (that needs pouring specifically). Shaking them in three different waters or in a river is questionable if it helps for ruach raah.

  • @DoubleAA Who said anything about ruach raah? Maybe rikitikitembo is going with the opinions that it is for cleanliness or b'riah chadasha.
