>>>I would argue that Ami should be assur to read during the week too…
The Shulchan Aruch mentions that in general people shouldn’t read these thing because of wasting time, etc.
However, someone could always claim that they need it for relaxing, etc.
However, on Shabbos there is an added issur which might be harder to find a heter for.
>>>Thank you for mentioning captions
I’ve often heard people say that if reading magazines on Shabbos, don’t read the picture captions.
I find this hard to understand. The Shulchan Aruch seems to be saying that even captions shouldn’t be read. What would be the difference between captions and articles?
