Parshat: Vezot Haberacha
Yalkut Yosef: 632
Schach that is unfit to be used as schach invalidates the Succah if it is four tefachim (approximately 12 inches) wide. If it is less than four tefachim wide the Succah is kosher but one should not eat or sleep under that area. If the invalid schach is less than three tefachim wide it is even permissible to eat and sleep under it. If the invalid schach is all the way to the side, against the wall, it does not invalidate the Succah unless the area it covers is wider than four amot (approximately 6 feet). A gap in scach wider than three tefachim will also invalidate the Succah if it runs from one side of the Succah all the way to the other. If it doesn't run all the way down it poses no problems at all.
