Question
Hello, I wanted to ask if a scented candle for beauty needs to be kosher for Passover or if it can be placed on a table where food is eaten. Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello
A.
There is no need for it to be kosher for Passover,
usually it does not contain chametz,
even if it contains chametz - it is unfit for consumption.
Even if it seems not unfit for consumption - since it is made in the form of a candle, it loses its status as food.
B.
Regarding placing it on the table - it is forbidden. There is a concern that a small amount might mix with the food, and regarding chametz on Passover, there is no nullification.
