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?

ReplyDeleteThe keset is quite machmir, that any pisul one should mevatel the whole letter. If you want to partialy mevatel the samech (according keset hasofer)this would probably be better, than just seperating them. But this is a big chumra because a ngiya [hekef gvil] is not considered according most opinions written b'pisul.
