Halakhah for Maaser Sheni 3:10
הַלָּקוּחַ בְּכֶסֶף מַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי שֶׁנִּטְמָא, יִפָּדֶה. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, יִקָּבֵר. אָמְרוּ לוֹ לְרַבִּי יְהוּדָה, וּמָה אִם מַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי עַצְמוֹ שֶׁנִּטְמָא, הֲרֵי הוּא נִפְדֶּה, הַלָּקוּחַ בְּכֶסֶף מַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי שֶׁנִּטְמָא, אֵינוֹ דִין שֶׁיִּפָּדֶה. אָמַר לָהֶם, לֹא, אִם אֲמַרְתֶּם בְּמַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי עַצְמוֹ, שֶׁכֵּן הוּא נִפְדֶּה בְטָהוֹר בְּרִחוּק מָקוֹם, תֹּאמְרוּ בְלָקוּחַ בְּכֶסֶף מַעֲשֵׂר, שֶׁאֵינוֹ נִפְדֶּה בְטָהוֹר בְּרִחוּק מָקוֹם:
That which is bought with <i>Ma'aser Sheni</i> money that became impure should be redeemed. Rabbi Yehuda says, it should be buried. They [the Rabbis] said to Rabbi Yehuda, "But since if <i>Ma'aser Sheni</i> itself becomes impure, it must be redeemed, then that which is bought with <i>Ma'aser Sheni</i> money that became impure, is it not the law that it should be redeemed?" He said to them, "No. If you say [this] with regard to <i>Ma'aser Sheni</i> itself, which may be redeemed when pure in a distant place, shall you say [this] with regard to that which is bought with <i>Ma'aser Sheni</i> money, which may not be redeemed when pure in a distant place?
