Halacha & Kabalah don't mix

The Chasam Sofer (Shu”t O.Ch.51) writes “ Whoever mixes Divrei

Kabalah with Halacha Hapesukah is Chayav for planting כלאים  .”

Halacha and Kabalah don’t mix.

The Minchas Elozor (2:78)  criticized the Chasam Sofer for making

such a statement. He claims the Ch.S. could not have meant what

he said. We find in the Mogen Avraham quoting and Paskening

from Kisvei Ari Zal. Also the Bais Yosef  and other Poskim quote

from the Zohar and Kisvei Ari Zal. Are we going say on them they

planted Kelaim?

Hagaon Harav Shmuel Wosner Shlita defends the Chasam Sofer.

He claims that that the Rema MiFano writes that even Chochmas

Hanistar itself, you may not mix. You may not mix the Kimchi with the

Pardes or Kisvei Ari Zal with the Remak, the same way as you

may not mix Sod with Peshat.

Rav Wosner claims the Bais Yosef , Mogen Avraham etc, quote

Kabalah only when it was brought from the  Kadmonim who

understood  the Kabalah complementing  this  Halacha.

But if someone will come today and quote from a Hakdama  Al

Kisvei Ari Za,l which he probably barely understands and will explain

 a Halacha with it, In this case, we have the Rema MiFano and Chasam

Sofer who said “It is like planting Kelaim”
