According to Halachah 1, which of the following animals is explicitly included in the gid hanesheh prohibition?
Halachah 1 states the prohibition applies to kosher domesticated animals and wild beasts, even nevelot and trefot — making option B correct. Non-kosher animals are excluded (Halachah 5) and fowl are generally exempt (Halachah 4).
Question 2
Per Halachah 2, what happens if a person eats the entire inner gid on the hip socket even though it is smaller than an olive?
Halachah 2 rules that eating the entire gid on the socket makes one liable for lashes even below olive-size, because it is treated as a self-contained entity (בריה בפני עצמה).
Question 3
According to Halachah 9, a trusted butcher who is discovered to have sold nevelah may be reinstated if he does which of the following?
Halachah 9 specifies that reinstatement requires going to an unknown place and either returning a costly lost object or declaring his own animal trefe at real financial loss — both acts proving sincere repentance without deception.
Question 4
In Halachah 11, if nine of ten stores sell kosher meat and one sells nevelah, and a customer bought from an unknown store, what is the ruling?
Halachah 11 applies the principle 'kol kavua k'mechetzah al mechetzah damei' — anything with a fixed, established status is treated as 50-50 regardless of the numerical majority, making the meat forbidden.
Question 5
According to Halachah 18, which category of forbidden goods may be traded commercially despite being Biblically prohibited?
Halachah 18 states the general principle: Biblically forbidden items may not be traded commercially. Only Rabbinically forbidden items — whether the prohibition is certain or doubtful — may be traded. Forbidden fat is the sole Biblical exception explicitly carved out by Scripture (Leviticus 7:24), noted in Halachah 16.
