Commentary for Sukkah 35:9

מאי טעמא דמאן דאמר אין לבוד באמצע דתנן ארובה שבבית ובה פותח טפח טומאה בבית כולו טמא מה שכנגד ארובה טהור טומאה כנגד ארובה כל הבית כולו טהור

What is the reason of the one who says that the rule of lavud is not applied in the middle? — Because we learned: If a skylight in [the roof of] a house was of one handbreadth square, and there was an object of uncleanliness in the house, all the house is unclean, but what is directly below the skylight is clean. If the unclean object is directly below the skylight, the whole house is clean.
