Does adding a small amount of valid oil to melted fat or fish entrails make it permitted to kindle with them?
Synopsis
Unlike the case of seif 4, adding a small amount of valid oil to melted fat or dissolved fish entrails does permit kindling. The reason for the asymmetry is that these are subject to a rabbinic decree upon a rabbinic decree (gezera l'gezera).
