Are the various lulav invalidations (split tiyomet, niktam, etc.) limited to the first day or apply all seven days?
Synopsis
The Mishnah Berurah states that split tiyomet invalidates only on the first day. The Magen Avraham, citing the Yerushalmi and Riaz, holds that most lulav invalidations (based on lack of hadar) apply all seven days, except nisdak and split tiyomet which are based on lakicha tama (complete taking) and thus valid from the second day onward.
