Question

Can an Ashkenazi affix a mezuzah written in the Sephardic script ("Vaalish"), and can a Sephardi affix a mezuzah written in the Ashkenazi script ("Beit Yosef")?

Answer

Since, according to the Mishnah Berurah, there are concerns about the kashrut of certain letters in the Vaalish script, an Ashkenazi should use mezuzot written only in the "Beit Yosef" script, but in a rented apartment, one can be lenient. A Sephardi can use mezuzot written in the "Beit Yosef" script.
