Question
Is studying, walking, or speaking in the sukkah an obligation, and if not done, does one transgress a 'positive commandment', or is it not an obligation but rather an existing mitzvah, and can these actions also be done at home [the question is in a situation where there is no difference between doing so at home or in the sukkah]?
Answer
Shalom Rav
One who sits in the sukkah while studying or resting, etc., fulfills a mitzvah.
However, there is no obligation to be in the sukkah except during eating and sleeping, so one who does not do so does not transgress.
