Question:
Last Saturday, I was very thirsty after lighting candles, was I allowed to drink water? And what is the case in the event that the sun has set?
Answer:
You were allowed to drink water or tea after lighting candles, and even after sunset within thirteen and a half minutes since the sun went down, but after that time, or when you prayed ‘Arvit’, there is no permit to drink, unless you sanctify – and is allowed to sanctify herself and drink fourth.
