Waiting between Meat and Milk: Difference between revisions

# If one is unsure whether 6 hours passed, some say that one should wait until 6 hours surely passed and some say that one may be lenient and certainly in a case where one only ate chicken and not meat. <Ref>Hilchot Baser BeChalav 1:20. Badei Hashulchan 89:9 writes that someone who is lenient doesn't lose anything. Mishneh Halachot 5:97:3 writes that initially one should be strict to wait a complete 6 hours.</ref> Sephardim are lenient.<ref> Yad Yehuda 89:1 is strict because of dvar shyesh lo matirin but Darkei Teshuva 89:5 argues based on the Tzlach Pesachim 9b that anything that you can do multiple times isn't dvar sheyesh lo matirin. Similarly, eating dairy isn't considered a dvar sheyesh lo matirin since it is possible to have dairy now and later. Badei Hashulchan 89:1 s.v. shesh disagrees with the Darkei Teshuva. Yalkut Yosef Isur Vheter v. 3 p. 386 accepts the Darkei Teshuva. He cites the Zer Hashulchan 89:29 who is strict and says that it isn't comparable to the Tzlach since one isn't going to eat that piece of cheese twice. He also points out that Rabbi Akiva Eiger Megillah 5b seems to disagree with the Tzlach.

* Regarding the application of the Tzlach, see Taharat Habayit v. 3 p. 268 who quotes the Pri Hasadeh 2:38 and Maharam (Daat Torah YD 199) who limit the Nodeh Beyehuda YD 53 to say that it would not be considered a dvar sheyesh lo matirin for a woman to go back to mikveh if she had to wait an entire night. Similarly, Nodeh Beyehuda EH 2:38 applies his own concept to a woman be able to get married within 24 months if there's a doubt if she was pregnant from a Jew or non-Jew since she could be married now and later and it isn't considered a dvar sheyesh lo matirin to wait.</ref>
