Occam’s Razor in Halacha Ruling

asked 3 years ago

Hello, after looking at the few sources on Occam’s razor in Judaism in general and halachic rulings in particular (the sources found on Wikipedia and the rabbi’s articles), I wondered whether there are any rabbis who use the razor regularly, and if so, whether it is possible to obtain examples from their rulings.

I don’t know. But the question isn’t really defined. Always when you choose a simpler interpretation you can say that they used the razor principle. Every equal side is based on it.
