Question
Is it possible to make a sukkah on the openable roof of a car (is there a law of a bent wall regarding the car's walls, do the seats detract, etc.)? Thank you in advance.
Answer
Shalom and blessings
It is permissible to make a sukkah in a car with an openable roof.
The walls can be made of any material. Under the schach, a board or similar should be placed so that the schach does not rest on something that receives impurity. [According to the Chazon Ish, since the car is made of metal, it is not possible to make the sukkah kosher initially, because even if a board is placed on the roof frame, the frame itself rests on something unfit for schach].
The side walls are adjacent to the roof, and the third wall will be the front or rear wall, using a bent wall.
The size of the roof should be at least 70 by 70 cm.
The height of the car from the roof to the floor should be one meter. The seats do not detract from the size, as they serve the person sitting in the sukkah.
