Question
We want to build a sukkah in a place where there are trees on the sides above the sukkah, with branches leaning towards the schach but not touching it. They slightly obscure the sky, but the sky is still visible. Is this problematic?
Answer
Shalom u'vracha
It is forbidden to build a sukkah under branches attached to a tree, even when the sky is visible between them. And even if the branches do not touch the schach.
