Memory of the Destruction

Question

Is it necessary to leave an area of one square cubit as a memory of the destruction in every room, or is it sufficient at the entrance of the house?

Answer

It is sufficient at the entrance of the house [though some are stringent and do it in every room, but it is not customary to follow this opinion].
