Question
Shalom to the esteemed rabbis, shlita. Is it permissible to use wallpaper to cover sinks for Passover, or is it preferable to use a special plastic sink for Passover?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
Covering the sink for Passover is beneficial for two reasons. A. To prevent the utensils from touching the area where chametz is present throughout the year. B. The plastic sink is elevated and does not allow for connection. Hot water connects the sink to the utensils inside.
Wallpaper is only beneficial for the first reason, but not for the second, because if there is a little hot water in the sink, there will be a connection.
