Minority in the Sukkah and Majority in the House

Question

Is it permissible to eat in a chair where my head and feet (and my table) are inside the Sukkah, but the rest of my body is outside? Can it be said that perhaps “he might lean out”?

Answer

Shalom and joyous holidays!
The concern of being “leaning out” does not apply. However, since only a minority of your body is in the Sukkah, you have not fulfilled your obligation.
