Question
A person who went to sleep and needs to use the bathroom, and is not clean enough to recite the blessing of Asher Yatzar without great effort, can he wait until the morning even if he might miss the blessing of Asher Yatzar, or is he obligated to ensure his body is in a state to bless?
Answer
Hello,
One cannot rely on blessing in the morning, as there is a concern that by morning he will need to relieve himself again and will not be able to bless.
However, if his hands are not clean and it is a great effort for him to wash them, he can rub his hands and bless Asher Yatzar, and he is not obligated to wash his hands according to the law.
