Question
Is there an obligation to leave the prophet on the bimah during the blessings only if it is a prophet on parchment, or also if it is a Tanakh, and what is the ruling if the haftarah was read from a Chumash?
Answer
The obligation applies in any case, whether it is a Tanakh or a Chumash; the book from which it was read must be left on the bimah during the blessings.
