Question
A mezuzah on an uncovered balcony: is a blessing required when placed on the right of the entrant?
Answer
Without a blessing, as this is the opinion of the Taz, Beit Meir, and Chazon Ish. The reason it is placed on the right of the entrant is because the balcony itself is not obligatory, only as a backyard whose obligation comes from being an entrance to the house.
