Original text
<b>דין רחבה שאחורי הבתים. ובו סעיף אחד:</b><br>רחבה שאחורי הבתים יתירה על בית סאתים ולא הוקפה לדירה אין מטלטלין בה אלא בד' אמות ואם פתח לה פתח מביתו ואחר כך הקיפה אפילו אם יש גורן בינה לבית הוי היקף לדירה: הגה ומה שאין אנו נזהרין לטלטל בחצירות שאחורי הבתים משום דבזמן הזה סתמן מוקפין לדירה כמו שנתבאר לעיל גבי קרפף: (ד"ע)
1. The Law of an Open Area Behind the House: If an open area behind the house is bigger than two seahs and is not enclosed for dwelling, we only carry in it within four amot. If he made an opening from his house and afterwards surrounded the area [with walls], even if there is a threshingfloor between the area and the house it is considered enclosed for dwelling. RAMA: We are not careful regarding carrying in the yards behind houses because in this time, generic areas are enclosed for dwelling, as was explained above regarding enclosed spaces (his opinion).
