Dear Flatbush27,
I have a comment/question for you.
I respect that you use your rav to answer your questions, especially why women wear black. Do you extend that ideology to another person, when they say that their rav says a specific thing?
There are instances in this forum, where an individual states the reason how they act is based on the opinions of their own rav, but yet they are looked down upon.
Everyone has their own rav and differences in opinions. I don’t believe it is beneficial to ever state absolutes about anything, especially on topics as complicated as some halacha’s.
