Question
Question regarding the laws of kosher Sukkah: In a valley Sukkah, when there are walls in the lower part through lavud on all 4 sides of the Sukkah [height of 10 tefachim], but these walls do not reach the schach, do we say gud asik and the walls extend to the schach, or do we not apply two halachot in this case? [And is there a reason to be stringent in any case and make a complete wall not through lavud?].
Answer

The Sukkah is kosher, and we say gud asik.
In this case, there is no rule of two halachot.
The Mishnah Berurah states that initially, one should make three complete walls.
