However that doesnt mean that he would permit its study in an unclean place as it might still reflect the discipline, and be disrespectful towards it. Regarding Bichas HaTorah, According to Talmidei Rabbeinu Yonah (Brachos 11b), one only makes a bracha on studying Talmud or the like because it is an explanation of the Written Torah. Based on this, the Aruch Hashulchan (47:8) is hesitant to make a bracha on studying aggados, because they do not explain any scriptural verses. One would certainly imagine that talmudic stories dont explain the written law like talmmud. | |

Rather, regarding different halachic issues, the parameter of "Torah" must be defined. Regarding study in a foul place, the issue is disrespecting torah. In a similar context Rambam (Hil. Talmud Torah 3:13) implies that "ki dvar hashem baza" regarding disrespecting Torah, includes (at the minimum) the written law, and Mishnayos. Study on tisha b'av is not necessarily parallel and may operate by its own rules depending on what "gladdens the heart" (which is forbidden on tisha b'av). Regarding this, Rama permits studying (cont.) | |
