I tried to be melamed zechus with the Pischei Teshuva but I brought the Aruch Hashulchan to disagree with the limud zechus. I brought the Mishna Berura as another limud zechus.
How can you pasken from the Aruch Hashulchan’s quote not to pasken from The shulchan aruch? The answer is that the Aruch Hashulchan and the Mishna Brura are the answer. not a limud zechus.
No one ever paskens nowadays straight from the Shulchan Aruch, ever.
