Welcome to the Judaism community on Codidact!
Will you help us build our community of learners? Drop into our study hall, ask questions, help others with answers to their questions, share a d'var torah if you're so inclined, invite your friends, and join us in building this community together. Not an ask-the-rabbi service, just people at all levels learning together.
A reported family minhag - is it binding?
Hypothetical -- a young man's father passes away. As the child grows, he follows the minhagim his father followed. But the son is not aware of his father's position on certain things. How bound is he by reports of a family minhag which he is otherwise unaware of? Does it depend on the source of the report (a family member vs. a community member)? Does it require some sort of proof?
