Thoughts on this ayin (in a Beis Yosef ksav)?
How about the Bais of Uleovdo?

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. 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
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 ...

Correct. The shailo is far more potent in Beis Yosef ksav

ReplyDeleteTo me it seems to be a Shaalas tinok. Based on what do I say that?
The Rishonim specify 2 things to be particular about when writing a tzadik in order that the tzadik not look like an Ayin. 1) to twist its neck back towards the right. 2) attach the right yud to its neck and not to its base.
Our case does NOT have a twisted-back neck and the right "Yud" attaches right at the base. Therefore, while it MIGHT pass as a tzadik, it might actually look like an Ayin!!!
In light of the above this would be the classic case of a Safek in which case a Shaalas tinok is in order.
Thanks. I believe that is the popular psak. As it turned out here, the Tinok read as ayin.
