| Apr 27, 2016 at 23:47 | comment | added | Emet v'Shalom | I thought Rambam's position was that he is reading into the wording of the gemara which says that zava days are between nidda and nidda and is not connected to logic. As for the safek 'rule,' if there is a spiritual reality called kareit, then it will happen no matter what you rule. The only answer that satisfies me is eilu v'eilu, but perhaps the Rambam is really right about the cycle somehow. It is extremely unlikely, but it is still a possibility. | |

Rambam's opinion is categorically rejected by all other Rishonim, and from a modern point of view his position makes no sense unless you assume that he's making a hishtaneh ha'teva argument and saying that women used to have perfectly regular 7-11 cycles, but that at some point nature changed. In fact that's how I read it personally. Regarding sfek sfeika, I could see that according to "sfek d'oriyta l'hachmir, sfek d'rabinan l'hakel" once you get to sfek sfeika you've went beyond the bounds of the rule and sfek sfeika is always like d'rabinan and you're lenient | |
| Apr 26, 2016 at 20:20 | comment | added | Emet v'Shalom | Part of this sugya can be about sfek sfeika. I have seen a quote from Rav Ovadya Yosef who holds that sfek sfeika is mutar even by a kareit. I do not understand that, because if you are dealing with a possible kareit that can happen to a person due to inadvertent sin, then how can you be lenient even by 100 doubts (kareit may apply because the chatat korbon may be in place of kereit)? Chacham Ovadya may hold that a shogeg doesn't get kareit. | |
