Drying hands with a machine

The Rav Name: Rabbis of the Da’at Institute
  • Question

Is there any problem with drying one’s hands by use of a machine after ritual handwashing?

  • Answer
It is preferable to use some sort of towel or cloth for drying the hands, but if there is nothing else available, one may use a hot-air dryer.
