Reply To: Kasha or Shaila

Both are questions. A shaila is a question of a halacha that one needs to know about something that directly affects a person (is it kosher or traif if a drop of milk fell into the cholent pot). A kasha is a question to help understand material one has learned and which psoes some difficulty or begs another question, i.e., So if Rav said this, why does Abayei say that?).
