Question
Hello,
Regarding hand washing after waking up — should it be done by the bed? Or is a person's home considered four cubits according to Halacha?
And does this also apply to the recitation of the Shema on the bed?
Answer
Hello,
One must be careful not to walk four cubits without washing hands.
In a pressing situation, one can rely on the opinions that consider the entire house as four cubits.
