What is the amount of time a suspected woman needs to be secluded to be considered a Sotah?












2















The Gemara lists a series of opinions (9 by my count) in Sotah 4a as to how long the amount of secluded time must be for a forewarned woman to be considered a potential Sotah.



Do we know which Tanna we pasken like and practically speaking, what amount of time this would be considered nowadays?

Rambam Hilchos Sotah 1,2 Paskens like Rabbi Akiva the time for seclusion is to fry an egg and swallow it.




שהתה עמו כדי טומאה שהוא כדי לצלות ביצה ולגמעה הרי זו אסורה על בעלה עד שתשתה מי המרים ויבדק הדבר




Kesef Mishna




ומה שכתב שהוא כדי לצלות ביצה ולגמעה. ברייתא שם (דף ד') פלוגתא ופסק כר"ע:




The Minchas Yitchak 4,94 says this time of seclusion is 5 minutes,

Though the Dvar Halacha teshuva 11 says that this time is merely 35 seconds

    @sam i think everyone agrees with the Rambam, its just that even sommething obvious to the Rambam is shrouded in mystery nowadays which is why there is such a large time range. don't worry when Elyahu comes he can tell us ho long was the amount as with many added machlokes explaining what the Gemora meant,

    Minchas yitzchak only says that to be machmir and be yotzei midei safek. even according to him, it should be longer. And I don't know who the devar halacha is but there is no way that you can roast an egg and swallow it in 35 seconds.

    note that many poskim understand the shiur of yichud in general to be longer than the shiur of yichud by a sotah, see R' Moshe's teshuvah.
