Question
2 questions regarding Hanukkah, I would appreciate a source. I went on a trip to the end of the world and I am completely alone, without any people. Should I light the Hanukkah menorah with a blessing? Another question: Is it permissible to light the Hanukkah menorah with oil that has already been used to fry doughnuts or chips?
Answer
Shalom Rav
A. Light with a blessing.
B. It is permissible. There is no prohibition against using oil that has already been used for work.
Source
A. Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 677:3, [and see Mishnah Berurah there].
B. Mishnah Berurah, siman 672, se'if katan 3, prohibits only in the case of something unfit for consumption because it is repulsive, by the law of 'offer it now unto thy governor', but not for other uses.
