Question
Which sin is worse if one had no choice but to commit one of the two: a negiah violation or a Chillul Hashem? In my business life, I routinely cross paths with women who expect a handshake or sometimes a hug (a non-romantic one that is just a social gesture to which they are accustomed). Failing to do so is something they consider highly offensive in their culture. Many of these women I interact with know my language very sparsely, making explaining my religious beliefs to them nearly impossible.

Question
From my previous answer here, it seems you believe Miun can’t be witnessed through teleconference. My question is why that is the case when this article by Chaim Jachter said that witnesses to the request of a get document can be done that way. It seems like the same principle

Question
According to Halacha, If a minor girl gets married to a man, if she shows intellectual capability over 6, she has to do Miun instead of a Get. Miun is her expression of refusal to the marriage. My question is, can Miun be expressed through a telephone or teleconference?

Question
Does the Halacha’s prohibition of bestiality apply to fish? The reason I ask is because Halacha distinguishes between fish and non fish animals for other aspects of Halacha, such as the need for shechita.

Question
I have very small hands for an adult male, even smaller than my wife’s hands. There are cheap ladies gloves that are available in stores in lots of colors, but the ones in dark neutral colors look like they can be men’s gloves. It’s convenient for my wife and I to be able to share them. Does a man wearing ladies gloves that don’t look particularly feminine violate the biblical prohibition against wearing clothes of the opposite gender?

Question
According to this article it is conceivably possible for human beings to turn their bone marrow into sperm and impregnate without physical intercourse. My question is, when this becomes possible would a woman be allowed to impregnate herself with her own bone marrow, or would this be prohibited Arayot (likely incest)? Is this prohibited in Halacha?

Question
From the answer to my previous question it appears mourners can’t use depilatory cream on the it is shaving. My question is if non mourners can’t shave their Peyot why can they use the cream, what’s the difference betwwwn the two

Question
I was curious if it is permissible to remove hair with depilatory cream when mourning. The reason is because there is a biblical prohibition against shaving hair (Deuteronomy 14:1) to mourn, but since it is according to many poskim Muttar to use depilatory cream on areas you’d otherwise be forbidden from shaving, does the same principle apply here that the biblical prohibition doesn’t occur since you’re not using an actual razor? Is it the same principle

Question
In Halacha, is carried interest prohibited as ribbit? So Jew 1 owns an investment management fund, Jew 2 goes to him and pays for the value of the profit from the stock trading, and in exchange for managing the stocks in the fund Jew 1 gets 10% of the profit as a commission, is this prohibited as Ribbit?
