Question
I left real chametz in my house during Passover. Of course, I sold all the chametz to a non-Jew and was not at home during Passover. Is it permissible to use and eat the chametz?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
According to Halacha, everything is permitted.
Some are stringent and refrain from eating real chametz that was sold during Passover.
In your case, there is more room to be lenient even for those who are stringent, because it is not chametz sold in a store, where we do not know if the store owner's intention was for a complete sale. But in your case, you know that the sale was conducted according to Halacha.
