Half a shekel – half a shekel

If you have a clear halachic position that this is how it should be done, then there is no problem. But if you do not, then you must follow the custom, and the Sephardic custom is such. It should be remembered that here there is a reference to the half shekel and not the commandment of the half shekel, and this is not a complete obligation from the state. So there is nothing to talk about here about leaving the Yadach.
