Question
A new office where a mezuzah has already been affixed and is in use wants to hold a "mezuzah affixing ceremony" with the presence of rabbis and public figures. Is it permissible to remove the mezuzah for this purpose?
Answer
It is forbidden to do so, and instead, a 'Chanukat HaBayit' or similar ceremony can be held.
