Thanks Sam & DY.
It seems almost everybody agrees that after Chatzos it’s okay.
I haven’t read or heard about that Kikar article so I can’t comment on that. Any chance that we have a Meah Shearim resident (if Sam’s recollection is correct) here that can help us out? I’m still curious about that angle.
As an aside it’s funny how my posts were getting deleted but B”h sforim (links) aren’t getting censored here…
