Is it permitted to use the space directly beneath the beam (korah) and opposite the lechi of an alleyway for carrying objects?
Synopsis
The area beneath the korah and opposite the lechi is technically within the alleyway's permitted zone. However, if the alleyway opens to a karmelit rather than a reshut harabim, there is a dispute whether these areas are forbidden due to the 'finds its kind and is stirred' principle.
