Question
I need to undergo ear surgery, which requires a bandage on the head where the tefillin straps are placed, but not where the box is. Can I put on tefillin with a blessing?
Answer
When there is a wound on the head, it is permissible to be lenient if there is an obstruction at the place of the straps. And to put on tefillin with a blessing. However, when there is no wound on the head, one should be stringent to remove the obstruction even from the straps.
