Rav and Stick To Him?<br><br>
Rav Shlomo Zalman was asked the following question about choosing a Rav
to answer a question in Halacha. If you have question in halacha
that is known to be a Machlokes, may you go to the Rav that will give you
the answer you want? Or are you obligated to go to a Rav whose
opinion you don't know? Or are you required to choose one Rav whose
Psak you will always abide by no matter what the question?<br><br>
Rav Shlomo Zalman answered that you are not required to stick to a single
Rav and may ask each question to a different Rav. However you are
not allowed to ask each question to the Rav who is lenient in that
case. With regard to matters of Hashkafa, he says locking in one
Rav is not feasible. <br><br>
When choosing a Rav to answer Niddah questions, Rav Shlomo Zalman seemed
to imply that although it is permissible to choose a Rav with a
reputation of being lenient, nevertheless it is more praiseworthy not to
choose such a Rav. (Aleihu Lo Yibol YD 40)<br>
