Question:
"Is a Torah scholar permitted to answer 'Amen,' Kaddish, and other holy prayers (Dvarim Shebikdusha) in the middle of his meal, or should he refrain from doing so due to the prohibition of speaking during a meal?"
Answer
Any matter of sanctity (Davar Shebikdusha) may be answered in the middle of a meal. Regarding such an individual (even a Talmid Chacham), we apply the principle: ‘The Lord preserves the simple’ (Shomer Pesayim Hashem). This was the ruling of the Levushei Mordechai (Part 2, Siman 37)
