Question
Hello Rabbi, I found chametz after Passover in the amount of a kezayit in a place where I forgot I left it and did not intend for it on the eve of Passover. According to opinions that rely on the sale of chametz, can this be included and can it be eaten? And according to opinions that do not rely on the sale of chametz, did I violate 'bal yera'eh u'bal yimatze' and what should be done? Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello Rabbi
According to all opinions, the sale is effective in preventing the violation of the Torah prohibition of 'bal yera'eh u'bal yimatze', and if one relies on the sale even for real chametz, it is permissible to eat it after Passover.
