kuf resembling a lamed

By -

Elad posted [last week] a question on a kuf. I want to comment on this issue B'ezras Hashem.
I have edited the Malkosh [he posted] to recive 3 new situations, [the first one has been mentioned by Yehoshua in the comments there, in the name of Rabbi Shammai Gross shlit"a].
1) the fat tag [I moved to] the left edge of the kuf, my opinion is that this is not automaticaly pasul, but a shaylas tinok - how a tinok sees the letter. In this specific case [illustrated here] it might be realy pasul because this fat tag is mamash a (complete) kosher rosh for lamed!! But I want to make a point that if the tag is not a complete rosh for a lamed, then it will not be automaticaly pasul!
2) the kuf has a complete rosh of lamed - it is pasul [for either a kuf or a lamed], because this a complete shinuy tzura, this figure is partialy a lamed partialy a kuf, therefore pasul for either [a tinok can't help in this case].
3) lamed has a partial foot of kuf, this resembles question 1 as a shaylas tinok. Since this foot is not a complete feature of kuf (it is lacking the length required).

    He emphasized that if the "tag" would be all the way at the left *and* be "thick" (which in this case it was) then would be pasul. The shailos tinnuk I think would be in a case if it would be thin or small. Perhaps if it would be so thin or so small not a shailo at all (?) I can't say for sure but I imagine he would agree also...

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher

By -
We all know that there is no ancient source that requires ink to be מן המותר בפיך . Possibly, as said here before, because in the olden days ink was always  מן המותר בפיך and the question was never raised. It was probably self-evident. Nowadays, no decent Rav will approve an ink which is not מן המותר בפיך  . Who was the first one to raise this question? Was it raised because of animal ingredients or because of non-kosher wine?

Question to Yosef Chaim B

By -
Thank you for commenting on my ink article. In your comment you stated: "Many poskim disagree... Many rishonim have clearly stated the use of our ingredients." Would you please be kind enough to teach us (so I can include it in the article) which Poskim and what exactly and where did they say that the עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן  that does not fail? We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that  דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן.  Nor are we interested in those who said to use  עפצים וקנקנתום וגומא ואין לשנות when they discussed specifically the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink. We are interested to find out where and who (if any) said explicitly, based on sources, that the  עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן , even when there is  דיו עשן  of good quality that does not ...
