Question:
Is a blind person required to perform Mayim Acharonim (the final washing of the hands after a meal), considering that the reason involving the danger of blinding the eyes (from Sodomite salt) does not apply to him?
Answer
Yes, he is required to wash. This is because of the second reason given for Mayim Acharonim: “And you shall sanctify yourselves and be holy” (referring to the requirement of cleanliness for prayer and blessings).
This ruling is cited in the book Sefer HaSuma in the name of HaGaon Rav Moshe Sternbuch.
