Question
Is there an issue with Nigella during Passover? Thank you in advance.
Answer
Hello, Nigella is not chametz, and therefore there is no prohibition from the Torah.
There is a discussion whether Nigella is considered kitniyot, which are prohibited according to Ashkenazi custom, or if it is not considered kitniyot. Some poskim permit it, while others prohibit it.
In the list of kitniyot provided by our teacher Rabbi Amram Fried, shlita, Nigella is not mentioned.
