Q. Is a Kohen permitted to board a boat wherein a dead body is lying?
A. If the boat is small so that it shakes whenever a person walks thereon, a Kohen may not board it since he is bound to shake the body. If the boat is large, he may board it, but he is not permitted to come within four cubits of the body.
SOURCES: Cr. 141; Mord. M.K. 865; Hag. Maim., Abel 3,1.
