Is the license from a non-Jew valid if he designated only a specific spot (rather than the whole house) for the Jew to use?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules that a license limited to a specific spot is ineffective because the Jew must be like the non-Jew's representative throughout the entire house. A dispute exists between the Beit Yosef and the Bach/Taz over when exactly spot-designation invalidates.
