Topic Wiki

This thread is to discuss whether people feel that something is unethical, not to find out what the law*/T&C says.

Any Halachic questions should be posted here.

*According to CountValentine this includes religion, but unfortunately for him, the general consensus is that religion will always be entwined in this thread.

*Hint* If you have to ask, It's most likely not ethical.

If that's the reason I don't see how you can wear a shaitel in first place.

is it ethical to wear a shaitel with a fake skin in front that makes (or any other thing to that effect)a shaitel look for real
Why is this an ethical question? Maybe post in the halacha thread

In any case, this is the ethical thread, not halacha/minhag.

It seems you are trying to argue that halacha (religion) is ethics. You are not incorrect. The problem is that halacha can only be considered "ethics" if you consider halacha to be true. There are plenty that do not consider that the case (see most non-Jews and plenty of Jews as well), and therefore an ethics thread such as this must be based on truths that can be intuited without a prior fundamental belief.

i can use a writer myself but i will try to explain you my point. the reason why most here dont understand the difference is because most here are jewish and in our religion we dont decide what is ethical because pretty much all ethics are disussed and have a source so ppl here have a answer based on religion

I fully understand your point. Your religion like my religion decides if something is ethical or not based on its teachings. I am able to think outside my religion. Someone that can’t think outside their religion has been brainwashed.

You make the false assumption that an individual who chooses not to think outside their religion is incapable of doing so.

Many on here have done the former, while being quite capable of doing the latter.

Well only you would know if you assumed something, but it should did seem that you implicitly did so.
