Tzitzit
Question
Regarding tzitzit, the Rabbi wrote in a responsum that tekhelet is a Torah-level doubt, and therefore one rules stringently. On the other hand, I understood that with positive commandments, Rabbi Akiva Eiger and other halakhic decisors say that one does not follow the stringent approach. Does the Rabbi think that the rule of stringency in cases of Torah-level doubt also applies to positive commandments?
Answer
The Rebbe of Radzyn discussed this very position of Rabbi Akiva Eiger precisely in the context of tekhelet. Plainly speaking, in my opinion the law of doubt applies to positive commandments as well.
