Major Questions on the Rambam:
- How could the Rambam rule that a לחי is Kosher as long as it is not more than half the width of the Mavui. Our Gemara clearly says that if the לחי is four Amos wide it is disqualified?
- How could the Rambam say when the lechi is the same size as the open space it is considered a Lechi when our gemara said when they are equal size the Mavui one is not permitted to carry in the Mavui?
- See רמב”ם ה’ שבת פרק ט”ז הלכה ט”ז who rules פרוץ כעומד מותר (equal closure to open space is considered a mechitza) Why does the Rambam say that when the lechi is the same size as the open space it is considered a Lechi and not valid through the concept of פרוץ כעומד מותר?
