When replacing the Pasul Tzitzis of a corner, must one undo the Tzitzis of the other corners and retie them?[1]
No. The concept of Taaseh Velo Min Hasuiy does not apply in such a case. If the Tzitzis of another corner has torn and is only Kosher Bedieved, see next Q&A!
If the Tzitzis of a corner became invalid and needs to be replaced, does it affect the Kashrus of the Tzitzis of the other corners and require it to be replaced?
- Example: If one set of Tzitzis has a string that tore and is less than 24 cm, and is thus only valid being that it was initially tied with the correct length, must it be replaced when replacing the invalid Tzitzis of another corner?
It is implied from the previous Q&A, that the invalidation of one corner has no effect on the fringes of the other corners, even if the Tzitzis of the other corners are initially invalid to be used.
[1] See Admur 10:12; 15:8; above Halacha 7C
Other opinions: Some Poskim rule that one must undo all the other Tzitzis when replacing an invalid Tzitzis. [Levush brought in M”A ibid]
