Barry Epstein asked:
Which of the following is halachah and why, with regard to 2 contradictory statements:
Rav- follow the later one
Shmuel- divide due to "burden of proof is on one seeking to exact?"
Rav Nachman- divide due to "property in doubt is divided?"
Barry Epstein, Dallas, USA
The Kollel replies:
The Halachah is like Rav Nachman, because his opinion is consistent with the majority opinion in the dispute between Sumchus and the Chachamim. (See Ritva)
