A prohibited transaction

Hi,

A transaction which violates a halachah, such as sale of a Torah scroll for something of lesser sanctity, is still valid. However, it is possible to suggest that where a party to the sale did not know he was breaking the law, he could claim that this was a sale made under a false impression - מקח טעות - and therefore not bringing.

(Pitchei Choshen Kinyanim 1:25-26 and footnote 48)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
