“what can possibly come up once a day? Even once a week I cant imagine?”
It was an off-the-top-of my-head estimate. It’s possible that once a day was an exaggeration, but I’m not so sure. Once a week was not.
Before I responded, I took a moment to think of some of the sheilahs that have come up over the past few years, and there were definitely a lot. If I have a chance, maybe I’ll post some of them, or at least the topics.
My feeling is that if anyone does not have sheilahs at least once a week, that is likely either because they don’t know enough to realize there is a sheilah, or they are extraordinarily well-versed in halacha, so they don’t need to ask.
I would put most of the sheilahs that I or others I know have had in one of two categories. One category includes sheilahs that require a Poseik (so even if I knew as much halacha as I should, I would still need to ask).
The second one would include sheilahs that one might say that if the person knew as much as they should know, they wouldn’t need to ask. But l’maaseh, most/many people are not well-versed enough in halacha and do need to ask someone (although the someone may not necessarily have to be a poseik).
My estimate is that the first type of sheilah comes up roughly at least once a week to once a month, and the second one comes up roughly once a day to once a week.
Again, I will try to give examples when I have a chance.
