==Using a Name of Avoda Zara== | |||
#It is forbidden to use the name of an Avoda Zara whether there is or isn't a specific need.<ref>Shulchan Aruch Y.D. 147:1. See Chavot Yair 1 hasaga 11-12</ref> | |||
# It is permitted to use the name of a Saint or another person who was defied since it was originally a mundane name that was then used for Avoda Zara. However, it is only permitted to do so not the same way non-Jews call that individual, which ascribes that individual honor. For example, it is permitted to say Nicholas but not Saint Nicholas.<Ref>Shulchan Aruch Y.D. 147:2 quoting Rabbenu Yerucham</ref> Practically, some poskim permit saying a place that begins San, Sao, or Saint since it refers to a place and not the Avoda Zara itself.<Ref>Rav Yakov Yisrael Fisher in Umka Dparsha 5770 p. 172 and Banei Banim 3:35:4</ref> | |||
