Question
It is known that when tearing for one's father and mother, one tears on the left side to the heart, and when tearing for other relatives, one tears on the right side. What is the ruling if one tore for one's father and mother on the right side, and also if one tore for other relatives on the left side, is this a hindrance?
Answer
This is not a hindrance after the fact, and there is no need to tear again.
