Neglect of Torah in Dispute of Rulings
Question
Hello, a matter that is disputed among contemporary poskim, and if I follow the stringent opinion, it will cause significant neglect of Torah study. Is it permissible to initially follow the lenient opinion?
Thank you!
Answer
Hello
You need to appoint a rabbi for yourself and consult him. Follow his guidance in all matters.
It does not constitute neglect of Torah when Halacha instructs to follow the rabbi's directive.
