Is it permitted to extend one's hand to a gutter (maz'chila) positioned within three tefachim of a roof, to collect water from it while standing in the public domain?
Synopsis
A gutter within three tefachim of a roof is treated by the law of lavud as an extension of the roof (a private domain). Attaching one's hand to it to collect water constitutes a prohibited transfer from a private to a public domain.

Does the rabbinic decree forbidding attachment to a pipe above ten tefachim (where the pipe is not four by four) apply equally to all free-standing pillars in the public domain, or is the pipe a special case?
