The ח’ הגרי”ז on this רמב”ם explains the torah views the body and the hair as two separate entities The גאונים – Drasha that chatzitzah applies to hair requires the hair to be immersed in the water without a chatzitzah but it still remains an independent entity than the body The רמב”ם – Drasha teaches in regards to chatzitzah we view the hair and the body as one unit.

Questions: Does one who mistakenly held the Lulav in the left hand and Esrog in the right hand fulfill the Mitzvah of Daled Minim? Does he need to pick the Daled minim up again in the correct hand?
We discussed an argument between the מרדכי and the ש”ך The (מרדכי (פסחים פרק שני אות תקמז derives from the prohibition to smell the Haddasim that it is only forbidden to smell איסורי הנאה whose primary function are to produce a nice fragrance. But if scent is not the primary function than it is permitted to smell them as we apply the rule דייט לאו מילתא https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=14315&st=&pgnum=421
The ש”ך יו”ד ס’ ק”ח ס”ק כז disagrees and says that our Gemara implies the opposite. Only in regards to muktza is it permitted to smell the item if it’s primary function is not for smell. But for איסורי הנאה it is prohibited to derive pleasure from their fragrance regardless of their primary or secondary purpose. https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=9145&st=&pgnum=513
Questions: What is the point of disagreement between the מרדכי and the ש”ך? The מרדכי – Special drasha that the Daled minim are consecrated to Hashem. The ש”ך – They are designated for a mitzvah.
