Question 1
Which category of idolatry impurity also imparts impurity when CARRIED (not just touched)?
Halacha 7: offerings (tikrovet) impart impurity by touch and by carrying, like an animal carcass. The idol and its accessories only impart by touch, not carrying.
Question 2
What is the minimum measure required for an idol to impart impurity?
Halacha 2: the idol imparts impurity at an olive-sized portion — it should not be stricter than the laws of a human corpse.
Question 3
An idol that fell apart into pieces, but all pieces are present and a layperson could reassemble it — does it impart impurity?
Halacha 4: a disassembled idol does not impart impurity even if all its parts are intact and could be reassembled by an ordinary person.
Question 4
A primary source of impurity was thrown into a mikveh. A person touches it while immersed in the mikveh. Is the person impure?
Halacha 14 (halacha 15): Leviticus 11:36 states 'one who touches their carcasses contracts impurity' — even when they are in a mikveh, they impart impurity when touched.
Question 5
When a primary source of impurity can only impart impurity by touch (not carrying), does touching it defile the garments one is wearing?
Halacha 11 (halacha 10): a primary source that only transmits by touch (not carrying) does not defile garments at the moment of contact — garment defilement requires carrying-level impurity.
