Question
The canopy of the sukkah of our neighbors above us opens over our sukkah. However, there remains a portion of the sukkah that is not covered by the canopy. Is the sukkah kosher? Is the only restriction that men cannot sit under the covered part? Is that the only issue?
Answer
Hello
It is necessary to check if there are kosher walls for the sukkah in this case.
For example: if the neighbors' canopy is 4 amot wide [approximately 2 meters], the wall under the canopy is not considered part of the sukkah, because the schach starts too far from the wall.
