The 27^th of Nissan is the Yahrtzeit of Rav Yehuda Kahana, the Kuntres Hasefeikos (1819) The monetary laws, especially where there is doubt, are so complex, that I felt compelled to organize the general rules with a

commentary in order to guide people through their study:

Principle One: We will explain that whenever there is a doubt as to who is entitled to money, we are lenient in favor of the defendant in court, even if he claims, “Perhaps,” and the other litigant claims for certain, as long as the defendant is currently in possession of the money. We will also explain the case of one who betroths a woman with money that is in doubt. And what is the law in the case of charity funds about which there are questions.
