Question
What is the ruling if one tears the garment from the middle and not from the edge? Is it a hindrance?
Answer
For one's father and mother, it is a hindrance, and one must tear the edge. For other relatives, it is not a hindrance. It is customary to initially tear the edge of the garment even for other relatives.
