Question
On Chol HaMoed it is forbidden to buy items that are not for the needs of the festival. I want to order from an Israeli website a product that is not for the needs of the festival, before the holiday, but it is clear to me that the delivery will arrive on Chol HaMoed. Is it permitted to place the order, or must I refrain from doing so? By doing this, am I causing the website staff and the delivery workers to work on Chol HaMoed and causing them to stumble?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha
It is permitted to place the order.
