Great_Idea: If a Posek (an actual big Posek, not some random person, Rabbi or not, who I want to be a Posek) told me that in a certain situation to spit on a girl, and no other Posek disagreed, and I didn’t have a Ra’aya B’rurah from Shas and Poskim that he was wrong, of course I would. It is not up to me to determine what the Halacha is in each case. We listen to those who are more knowledgeable than us (i.e. the Poskim). Unless I had a Ra’aya B’rurah that it was wrong or knew that it was an unresolved Machlokes and that he was just Paskening one way, I wouldn’t go against a major Posek on anything, regardless of what he told me. That’s what a Rav Muvhak is.
