Do I need to check a rented tuxedo for shatnez?


By Baruch S. Davidson

It is biblically forbidden1 to wear shatnez (mixture of wool and linen) even temporarily, and even if the garment does not belong to you.

You should have your rented tuxedo checked for shatnez even if you will only be wearing it once.

Best wishes,

Rabbi Baruch S. Davidson
