Mahloket Rishonim how many strings should be used in the Techelet.

  • One string (Raavad)
  • Two strings (Rashi, Tosafot, Rosh and Tur)
  • Half string (Rambam)

In a case of an argument like this who would we follow? I also read that Rav Meir Mazuz Shelit"a follows the opinion of the Rambam.

EDIT: what's also interesting is that we would never know for sure because randomly Maran decided to base his Halachot on different sources. For example: Bet Yosef O"H 426 cites the Shaare Orah (Mekubal, Rishon) that holds to wait 7 full days in order to recite Birkat HaLevana.

We will never know...

"In a case of an argument like this who would we follow?" Are you asking about this case, or more generally? – msh210♦ Jan 9 at 5:36
@msh210 wel...I'm 99% sure there are no other cases where we have this exact argument but in general would be what I'm looking for. – Hacham Gabriel Jan 9 at 14:00

Kesef Mishne on Rambam (1:6) seems to hold like the Rambam (see Maase Rokeach who to my understand also holds like Rambam). I also believe from Shu"T Hatam Sofer vol. 1 sim. 1 it seems he holds like Rambam. Therefor, the Halacha is like Rambam.
