Question

I want to transfer the ownership of the vessel so that I can immerse it to use for Mishloach Manot. Usually, Mishloach Manot are passed on, so it's unclear to whom to transfer the ownership of the vessel?

Answer

To resolve this, you can transfer the ownership of the vessel to whoever will receive it, even if you don't know who that will be. This is effective based on the principle of 'Breira' (retroactive clarification). Although 'Breira' does not apply to matters of Torah law, in monetary matters, as explained in Chazon Ish (Demai, סימן טז), 'Breira' is applicable here.
