Does the suspended-wall leniency for a toilet apply when it protrudes outside a city wall over a dry moat (karmelit) rather than water?
Synopsis
A toilet protrudes outside the city wall with waste falling into a large dry moat (over two se'ah — a karmelit). The question is whether the suspended-wall leniency that works for water also applies here.
