Does a Tzaddoki (Sadducee) invalidate an eruv by his presence, and can he participate in or nullify one?
Synopsis
A Tzaddoki does not believe in rabbinic law (Torah shebe'al peh) but is treated as a Jew for purposes of bitul reshut (nullifying his domain). However, his participation in an eruv is ineffective since he does not accept the concept of eruv.
