What is the status of a garment of mixed materials (e.g., some tzitzit of the garment's own material and some of wool) attached to a tallit made of non-wool/linen material?
Synopsis
The Mechaber states this situation is a doubt (safek). The Magen Avraham and Aruch HaShulchan analyze whether the safek is resolved differently depending on whether other materials carry Torah or rabbinic obligation.
