Selling a mezuzah to a goy

By -
I suppose this is a bigger problem for Judaica shops who are open to anyone who walks in off the street. What isw the halachah? Perhaps Rabbis Bloomestiel or Gorman would have experience in this matter?

    One may not sell or give a mezuza to a goi (for the intent of puting on his doorway), if there is a chashash {of aiba, see however Pischei Shearim p. 365} or sekana it is allowed - Rema 291:2 Yoreh Deah.

    We do not sell to a Goy, If we suspect we ask which Shul are they members of.

    Here in London a Mezuzah was presented to the Queen. Firstly it was written without Kidush Sheimos.
    It was sewn into a Silver Case and there was no Writing on the Back.

    There is also a Problem selling Tallis and Tzitzis to a Goy, this is a much harder task for us.

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher

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.

The forum is back online...for reference and research purposes.

 Dear Readers and Members, The forum has been down for over 6 months because the domain name (www.stamforum.com) lapsed and it is no longer available to re purchase. Although this forum is now defunct (it has morphed into several whatsapp groups), I have had many requests to put it back online because it contains so much information (over 1,800 posts and thousands of comments in the discussions, on a wide range of topics related to STa"M). I have therefore put the forum back online at blogger, so the address is www.stamforum.blogspot.com. The forum lasted for a decade...not a bad effort! It was pretty popular back in the days before whatsapp and managed to receive over a million hits in it's short life. It was one of the only organised forums in the  STa"M world and definitely the largest in it's heyday. I would like to thank all those who cobtributed over the years, particularly the early members who helped build it up. Thanking you all, Eli
