If one discovers on Shabbat that the tallit is invalid while in a carmelit (semi-public area), must one remove it immediately?
Synopsis
All authorities agree that one need not remove an invalid tallit while in a carmelit on Shabbat due to the principle of kavod ha'briyot (human dignity), which overrides the rabbinic-level prohibition on carrying invalid tzitzit. One should wait until reaching home to remove it.
