May one eat in a Sukkah which has the Sechach of an upper Sukkah protruding over it?
If the bottom Sechach is firm enough to hold a person lying on pillows and blankets: This matter is disputed by Poskim. Some Poskim[1] hold that it does not invalidate the Sechach directly under it being that this protruding Sechach has no walls. Others[2] however rule that despite the above it does invalidate the Sechach under it. Practically one is to be stringent and avoid this situation.
If the bottom Sechach cannot hold a person lying on a pillow: The lower Sukkah is completely valid.
