If an alleyway wall is breached on its side toward its end (near the lechi or beam), and a four-handbreadth post remains at the end — is the alleyway still permitted for carrying?
Synopsis
When a side wall of an alleyway is breached near the entrance post (lechi/korah), leniency depends on whether a 4-tefach post remains. If yes, the alleyway is permitted up to 10 amot of breach; if no 4-tefach post remains, different minimums apply.
