As I have told you many times before, any Rabbi who denies a halacha is an Apikorus.
Many sefardim state that not eating fish and dairy together is a halacha. Does that make the rest of us bagels-cream-cheese-and-lox Jews apikorsim?
(And before tries to say that it isn’t “halacha,” I’ll grant that they are correct — it’s more than halacha, as per the dictum of “sakanta chamura m’issura.”).
