Reply To: In the Purim Spirit: Women are required to Ad dlo yada 😂🤣😂🤣

Compare mitzva to aveira: When is a person a rotzayach (murderer) – when he shechts a person or moments later at yetzias neshama?

Nafka mina: when does he have a din of rotzayach? When he does the shechita of a fellow yid, or whenthe yid actually does?

Suppose a person places dough into an oven or a pot of uncooked food on a flame on shabbos – when is he a mechalel shabbos and hence possol l’eidus: at the time of placing the food into oven, or when it is partially baked/cooked?

The mitzva of ad dlo yada components of drinking is like the component of placing food on fire on shabbos. That is not the mitzva or issur. It is a hechsher mitzva/aveira. The mitzva/aveira crystalizes when he reaches ad dlo yada/bishul. That is when he is mikayem the mitzva or aveira and hence only then by the avaira possul l’aidus.

You understand?
