# Some say that there is no bal tosif when one is doing an action to avoid a safek.<ref>Tosfot Yeshanim Yoma 58b, Shitah Mikubeset Zevachim 80a learn from Rabbi Yehoshua who says that there is no bal tosif for blood in a mixture since there is a doubt if one needs to sprinkle it. Their language is very general and seems to permit bal tosif for any case of a doubt.</ref> Others disagree.<ref>Turei Even Rosh Hashana 28b argues with Tosfot considering that if there was no bal tosif anytime there was a doubt why would there have been a question of bal tosif to sleep in the sukkah on the 8th of sukkot outside Israel. Taharat Hakodesh Zevachim 80a distinguishes that in a case of a doubt because of a mixture it is acceptable to do an action because of a doubt. That is because each action one is doing can be justified. [Note that the Gemara Zevachim 81a accepts that the Mishna could even be speaking about a case of individual cups of blood that are mixed and not just if the blood mixed together in one cup.] However, if there is no mixture such as a case of sleeping in the sukkah on the eighth of sukkot that is forbidden because of bal tosif even though there is a doubt.</ref>

# Some say that if there is a mixture of items and for some doing something would be a mitzvah and for others it would be a sin of bal tosif there is no prohibition of bal tosif whenever there is a mixture.<ref>Rabbi Eliezer in Zevachim 80a states that there is no question of bal tosif when there is a mixture. Rabbi Yehoshua responds that there is no bal tigra in a mixture. Considering that we follow Rabbi Yehoshua (Rambam Psulei Mukdashin 2:11), did Rabbi Yehoshua accept Rabbi Eliezer's argument?
