Question
When awaking in the morning, should one try to have a basin of water next to his bed or can he rely on his house being considered "daled amot"? The opinion of the Mishna Berura in Siman 1b seems to be very strongly in favor of having the basin but his source is Kabbalah (like many other things in the morning). What is the recommended practice?
Answer
One can be Meikel and wash at the basin.
