Selling Chametz
Question
Is it advisable to sell whiskey in the sale of chametz? And what about flour, is it considered definite chametz? Is there a difference between flours from different companies?
Answer
Hello,
A. Whiskey is considered complete chametz, and those who refrain from selling complete chametz are stringent about this.
However, in cases of significant loss, they rely on the sale even for complete chametz.
B. Flour is not considered definite chametz, but rather with a suspicion of chametz. Except if it is labeled 'dry milling', which is not chametz but 'not kosher for Passover'.
