Question

A Torah-observant individual living in a shared building, where some residents are not yet observant, what are the options and obligations regarding checking for chametz in the communal shelter for all building residents, who do not wish to remove their chametz from the shelter during wartime?

Answer

In such a situation, it is necessary to consult with a rabbi to determine the best course of action. It is important to remember that checking for chametz is an obligation, and if other residents do not wish to remove chametz, a compromise solution may need to be found.
