Question
Is there a concept of five hours and a bit between meat and milk, and can it always be practiced in reality? (Ashkenazi)
Answer
Shalom Rabbi B
There is a leniency if five hours have definitely passed and there is doubt about the sixth hour, one may eat.
Source
Siman 89, סעיף 1.
Since the wording of the Rambam and the Meiri is that it is sufficient for five hours to pass after eating meat and a bit of the sixth hour.
