DAF DISCUSSIONS - KIDUSHIN 53

Joseph Weinstein asked:

If someone uses stones from the old city or kotel areas (for building or even souvenir purposes) is there any concern for Meilah?

Thanks

The Kollel replies:

The Tzitz Eliezer (10:1 paragraph 85) quotes an argument in this matter, but rules that there is no problem of Meilah (however, he says that there may be a prohibition of Lo Sa'asun against dislodging the stones from these areas).
