We see from here
that that the commandment of וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר י״י֮
אֶֽל־אַהֲרֹן֒ וַאֲנִי֙ הִנֵּ֣ה נָתַ֣תִּֽי לְךָ֔ אֶת־מִשְׁמֶ֖רֶת תְּרוּמֹתָ֑י (18:8,) isn’t merely to avoid causing the terumah
any loss, it is its own issur to cause tumah to terumah irrespective of effect.
Rambam (12:4) חבית שנשברה בגת העליונה והתחתונה טמאה אם יכול
להציל ממנה רביעית בטהרה יציל ואם לאו יציל בידיו בלא נט"י ואע"פ שהוא מטמאה
כמו שיתבאר בענין טהרות. Rashi in Menachos 48b understands this Mishna (Terumah 8:7) to mean one can cause tumah to the terumah with vessels that are tamah
even דאורייתא. However, the Rambam
understands that the Mishna only permits one to cause it tumah d’rabbanan
even if all the terumah will be lost.
Why doesn’t he permit causing even טומאה
דאורייתא
if its not going to cause any loss to the terumah? It fits with the above Rambam that holds
there is a issur in it of itself to cause tumah to the terumah
(Minchas Avrohom Menachos 48b in the name of Rav Beril Solevetchik.)
