Question
Hello Rabbi, For Ashkenazim, do kitniyot on Passover need to: 1. Be sold to a non-Jew? 2. After Passover, can they be eaten only after being bought back from the non-Jew? 3. In general, how long after the holiday can chametz sold to a non-Jew be eaten?
Answer
Even according to Ashkenazim, kitniyot are not chametz. The reason they are stringent not to eat them is due to the concern of chametz mixture or that an observer might think they are grains. Therefore:
A. It is not necessary. B. Even if they were not sold, it is permitted. . 3. A little after the time of R"T.
