Is it a mitzvah (or obligation) to check one's garments on Erev Shabbat close to dark to ensure no forbidden item is in them?
Synopsis
The Mechaber and Tur rule it is a mitzvah to check garments close to dark. The Aruch HaShulchan questions the Tur and Mechaber's language change from the Talmud ('chayav') to 'mitzvah,' and explains the distinction. The GRA explains why this applies even for those without a proper reshut harabim.
