hereorthere, Some minhagim that are adopted by a large part of klal Yisroel are not shaalos to be asked. Taking an example of the afikomin as I’ve mentioned yesterday, let me expound on this. My husband will not ask a shaalah if he is doing the right thing here because this is how his father, gandfather, uncles, cousins, his Rebbe and his fellow Chassidim do it. This is a minhag.
Now minhagim are what large segments of frum Jews adopted depending where they live. This is transfered from from father to son and within a particular community. There are no shaalos to ask here.
Then there is Daas Yehadus, what is the accepted practice in klal Yisroel in each generation. My humble opinion is that this becomes minhagim.
Now some people on this thread judged minhagim and das Yehadus not to be within the parameters of halacha. That is not for us to decide. Only the Rabbonim can do that.
Halachic shaalos come up when one doesn’t know what the din or the minhug is. These shaalos can be like what do I do if I used a milchig fork for a hot fleishig dish or asking one’s Rov if they need to or what they should and how they should check for worms in fish.
