Chametz Lost Before Passover
Question
My parents do not observe Torah and mitzvot. They came from abroad to visit and bought us Carmel cookies (chametz). The suitcase with the food is currently lost. Is this chametz theirs or mine? Can I sell it?
Answer
Hello,
As long as you have not received the chametz, it belongs to your parents, not you.
You can ask for permission to sell the chametz on their behalf.
