| Jan 2, 2011 at 23:16 | comment | added | WAF | The same goes for the Aruch Hashulchan, but I think you answered that question in your answer: It is for people whose y'shivos follow the Mishna B'rura's derech and not that of the Aruch Hashulchan. | |
| Jan 2, 2011 at 23:14 | comment | added | WAF | @YDK I understand that people should not be (and generally are not) paskening straight from the Mishna B'rura but it still seems like a version of Mishna B'rura with piskei Chazon Ish at the bottom doesn't reflect the opinions of "other big Halachic rulers". It just gives the opinion of one such ruler - the Chazon Ish. There must be a reason that specifically he is printed in that version of the Mishna B'rura. Mustn't there? | |

I was just saying that someone may have a preference what to use for their main sefer. The final p'sak should come from your Rav or be based on your shimush (professional experience) with halacha. | |
| Dec 31, 2010 at 19:43 | comment | added | WAF | This would imply that the reasons for the two s'farim I mentioned are actually quite different. The Mishna B'rura is for those learning halacha who happen to want to know if the Chazon Ish disagrees with any given p'sak. The Aruch Hashulchan is for people who learn/pasken like the Mishna B'rura but want more iyun without being misled into thinking it is authoritative. Is this correct? | |
