Question
In a stairwell shared by Ashkenazim and Sephardim, according to whose custom should the mezuzah be affixed?
Answer
The mezuzah should be affixed according to the custom of the Ashkenazim, because the 'Beit Yosef' writes that it is also kosher for the Sephardic custom, whereas the Sephardic script (and Alish) is not certainly kosher for the Ashkenazic custom.
