Question
Hello, on which nations is the prohibition of 'Lo Techanem' said?
Answer
Hello,
The prohibition of 'Lo Techanem' applies to all nations, and there is a dispute among the early authorities whether it applies only to those who practice idolatry or also to those who do not.
However, regarding Ishmaelites, the prohibition of 'Lo Techanem' applies according to all opinions, even though they do not practice idolatry.
