Source for Ruling on Jewish Law According to What You Understand
Question
Hello Rabbi,
I read on the site that you claim that if there are disputes in customs in Jewish law, one should rule according to what one understands (correct me if I’m mistaken).
I wanted to know what the source for that is.
Thanks in advance.
Answer
See here on the site, an article about autonomy in halakhic ruling.
