Question
An Aron Kodesh that was used for Torah scrolls is now replaced with a new one, and the old one remains unused. Is it permissible to store books there?
Answer
It is forbidden to use it for anything with a lesser sanctity than a Torah scroll. Even if there was a condition made before its use that it could be repurposed.
