Question
I have mezuzahs on all my doors. Ive just been given another mezuzah as a present. Can I put it up adjacent to an existing mezuzah?
Answer
Thank you for your question,
You can't put it up adjacent to an existing mezuzah because it would be a violation of 'Bal tosif'.
(See pitchei teshuva 291;2, Aruch Hashulchan 291;1).
All the best!
