MENDY HIRTH asked:

THE KOHEN DID A SIN AS A COMMENER & HAD A YEDIA AS A KOHEN GADOL WHAT KIND OF KORBAN DOES HE BRING THE GAMORAH IN MAKOS DAF 11B TALKS OF WITNESSES THAT SAY HE IS A BEN GRUSHAH & WE DEBATE IF HIS STATUS IS MEIS REGARDING UHRAY MIKLAT OR HE NEVER WAS A KOHEN GADOL WHAT WE SAY REGARDING HIS KORBAN IF WITNESSES SAY HE IS A BEN GERUSHAH?

MENDY HIRTH, PASSAIC NJ

The Kollel replies:

They say that the question of a smart person is half an answer. While I did not find anyone who discussed the question, it does seem from the Gemara in Makos (11b) that whether or not he would have considered to have fulfilled his obligation retroactively is dependent on this argument. However, it seems that if he was already found not to be a Kohen Gadol we would not allow him to bring a Par, as he can no longer be considered to have the status of a Kohen, let alone a Kohen Gadol. [The Rambam rules (Hilchos Rotzei'ach 7:12) Batlah Kehunah, meaing that retroactively he was never the Kohen Gadol.]

All the best,

Yaakov Montrose
