14: Laws of tzitzit made by a heathen or a woman and of a borrowed prayer shawl.

1 Tzitzit that were made by a heathen are invalid, as it is written "Speak to the children of Israel" which excludes a heathen. It is acceptable for a women to make them. Gloss: And there are those who restrict to requiring a man to make them, and it is good if it is done this way from the start (Mordechai, Halachot Ketanot) and Notes of Maimun on Hilchot Tzitzit and Additions page 42.

2 If a Jew put tzitzit on a garment without intent – if there are no other tzitzit (available) that were put on with proper intent, one may rely on Maimonides who allows it, but one may not make a blessing on them.

3 One who borrows a tallit which lacks tzitzit from his friend is exempt from putting tzitzit on it for 30 days as it is written "your garment" – and not someone else's; and after thirty days, one is rabbinically required because it appears that it belongs to him... 4 5
