====In Another Room==== | |||
# If feces are in a small room it is permitted to learn Torah in the large room attached to the small room even if one is within 4 amot.<ref>The Gemara Eruvin 92a establishes that if there's feces in a small room attached to a big room it is permitted to learn Torah in the big room. The reason is that the larger room which isn't completely open to the small room is a separate domain and one doesn't have to be concerned with the feces. This is codified by the Rosh Brachot 3:46, Tur and Shulchan Aruch 79:3.</ref> Even if one can see the feces it is permitted to learn Torah but it is preferable to be strict to turn away.<ref> The Rosh Brachot 3:46 understands that since the feces are in another domain it is permitted to learn Torah even if one can see them. However, the Rashba Brachot 25a argues that even one can see the feces it is always forbidden to learn. Bet Yosef 79:2 rules that the halacha follows the Rosh but it is preferable to be strict for the Rashba.</ref> Even if the feces are in another room it is an issue if one can still smell the feces.<ref>Rambam Kriyat Shema 3:9 writes that even if feces are in another domain it is still an issue if one can smell them. The Rabbenu Yonah 16b s.v. vim writes that some disagree with the Rambam since it is in another domain. Shulchan Aruch 79:2 holds like the Rambam.</ref> | |||
# If there are feces in a large room then it is forbidden to learn Torah even in the small room attached to it until one distances oneself as though it was in the same room.<ref>Eruvin 92a, Rosh Brachot 3:46, Tur and Shulchan Aruch 79:3</ref> | |||
# If feces are outside it is permitted to learn Torah inside the house as long as one can't smell them.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 79:2</ref> | |||

# Unlike human feces where it is forbidden to learn Torah as long as one can see the feces unless it is behind oneself when one can learn Torah if one is 4 amot from where it smells, for animal feces it is permitted to learn Torah as long as one is 4 amot from where it smells even if one can see it.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 79:4</ref> | # Unlike human feces where it is forbidden to learn Torah as long as one can see the feces unless it is behind oneself when one can learn Torah if one is 4 amot from where it smells, for animal feces it is permitted to learn Torah as long as one is 4 amot from where it smells even if one can see it.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 79:4</ref> | ||
