Halakhah for Bekhorot 36:29
ומשל דרבי עקיבא למה הדבר דומה לאחד שהפקיד אצל בעל הבית שהמוציא מחבירו עליו הראיה
That of two men who gave [two animals] in charge of a shepherd and [one died], where the shepherd leaves the living one between them and departs.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And similarly the Mishnah is dealing with a case where the surviving animal, a doubtful first-born, was given in charge of a shepherd, and both the owner and priest claim it. Here we cannot say that the claimant must produce the evidence, since the animal is in the possession of neither of them.');"><sup>9</sup></span>
Shulchan Arukh, Yoreh De'ah
One should not ask while standing, and one should not answer while standing. And some say that when one asks a matter of halacha, one needs to stand. (Tosafot, Chapter Pesulei HaMukdashin, in the name of the Yerushalmi) One should not ask from a high place, nor from a distance, nor from behind the elders. One should only ask about the topic at hand. One should only ask out of fear. One should not ask more than three halachot about the topic.
