Question

Is it permissible to apply the oil left from Hanukkah candles on a boil on the leg? I heard it is a segulah.

Answer

One who wishes to use the oil left in the cups as a segulah for healing (such as for a boil on the leg) should consult a sage, as oil designated for its mitzvah is often prohibited for other uses.
