===Choosing a Kohen=== | |||
# The child should be redeemed from a male kohen and not from a female kohenet<ref> Aruch Hashulchan 305:3, Yalkut Yosef Sova Semachot vol. 2 pg. 229, Rambam Bikkurim 1:10, Rosh Bechorot 8:4, Sefer Hachinuch Mitzva 392, Shu"t Harashba 1:836, Radbaz 4:196. According to one opinion in Tosafot Kiddushin 8a, and Pesachim 49b however, it seems that a female kohenet can be used.<br /> | |||
Shu"t Chatam Sofer YD 301 suggests that if one is concerned that he will not find a male Kohen, he can give the money to a female kohenet on condition that if he doesn't find a male kohen afterwards, that this will fulfill his obligation but if he does find another male kohen, he will give him money as well</ref> | |||
# The poskim differ as to whether a kohen under the age of thirteen can receive the pidyon <ref>see Aruch Hashulchan 305:13 </ref>. | |||
# Some poskim say that you may not use a kohen who desecrates shabbat publicly. <ref>Shevet Halevi 2:172 </ref> | |||
