I’m fasting and can’t wash my hands til midnight. I’d prefer questions with short answers so I do not get the juice all over my cell phone screen.

Thank you. One of those pet peeves.

I’m fasting
What does fasting have to do with hand washing? Do you not wash after pissing or shitting?
This is wild.

You can still wash your hands

If it’s a religious thing, it likely means they have to avoid a lot of “luxuries” as part of the fast. And keep in mind that back when these rules were written, bathing was definitely a luxury hahah.

But it's not anymore. Why follow rules that no longer apply ("do not wash your hands as bathing is a luxury") to current society? How is that at all helpful religiously? Genuinely asking.

Tradition. Religion has never really been fully rooted in logic, it’s a matter of faith. Fasting is just a way of showing your devotion to your deity.

Mm, sure, but wouldn't your deity want the rules to be changed so that it fits modern society (like, the bathing thing)?

I don't understand why if you are fasting you would have jalapeno juice on your hands
Sounds like some kind of tik tok beauty treatment

I did, it needed a more precise touch to satisfy the itch. I couldn’t resist the urge so I ended up scratching my eyes. It was horrible
