Question
Mezuzah in Sephardic script for Ashkenazi?
Answer
According to the Mishnah Berurah in the name of the Pri Megadim, it is invalid due to the letters נ and ש, but according to the Kesset HaSofer and the GR"Z, it is valid. Ashkenazi script [Beit Yosef script] for a Sephardi is valid according to all opinions, and therefore, if someone has a rental apartment or guesthouse, it is preferable to affix mezuzot in Ashkenazi script so that everyone fulfills their obligation.
