Editing Mishneh Torah of the Rambam (section)

== Opposition to the Sefer ==
After the sefer was published, several opponents arose, with one of the main arguments of the critics being the fact that the Rambam did not cite the sources on which he relied.

The opponents also feared that the sefer would lead to cessation of Talmud study, because the Rambam writes the final ruling without the give and take that preceded them. Claims also arose about the Rambam bringing only his opinion, without referring to different opinions or rulings that had taken root in different Jewish communities.

Many opponents arose to Sefer HaMada, because of the involvement in matters of faith, which was not accepted then.
