[Avodah] dina demalchuta

[Micha Berger]

More on DDD lemaaseh. See AhS CM 359 (the siman is dedicated to the
topic). But that's the fiscal sense of the word, and related to minhag
effecting qinyan. In fact, his usages are pretty consistently fiscal.

I found (so far) two exceptions, but neither are provably about an issur
of violating DDD. Other references in this siman to DDD
are about eved, and thus arguably fiscal.

AhS YD 257:12: if geirus is prohibted by the law, a man can be accepted
as a geir (or an eved) while waiting for a chance to safely do milah.

YD 334:1: prohibits using nidui and cheirem if DDD prohibits it. This is
bitul of a mitzvah qiyumis that is already up to the discretion of the
dayanim. (And besides, aren't there indications the AhS includes bones
thrown to the censors?)

Tir'u baTov!
