halacha - With which Torah can one fulfill the obligation of Parshas Zachor?


There is an argument between texts if the word "Petzua Daka" (Devarim 23:2) should be with an Alef or a Heih. Can someone fulfill his obligation to read Zachor (and normal Torah reading) with a Torah which was written not like his custom?




As always, CYLOR.




Similar to Parshas Zachor Sfardi versus Ashkenazi but not exactly.



Answer




Yalkut Yosef 685:12



ומתוך ספר תורה בכתב אשכנזי, יצאו ידי חובה


וכן ההיפך, שהכל יוצאים ידי חובה בספר תורה שנכתב בכתב ספרדי, אף שהיו''ד של הצד''י נכתב כיו''ד הפוכה.



a) A Sefaradi who heard from a Ahkenazi written Sefer Torah is Yose.


b) An Ashkenazi is also Yose from a Torah written in Sefaradi style.


One can infer from the fact the he does not mention the "petzua daka" issue, that it would not be a problem (although he doesn't seem to say so explicitly).
