Does the saving restriction apply equally to all areas, or is there a distinction between courtyards and other houses within an eruv?
Synopsis
The Mechaber presents two views: one that limits saving to courtyards near the public domain, and another that permits unlimited saving to another house within an eruv or to one's own courtyard. The Mishnah Berurah rules one may rely on the lenient view for rabbinic matters.
