Use of an Item Sold in Yovel Sale
Question
I sold to a non-Jew in the Yovel sale. Can I use the item I sold until Shabbat?
Answer
Hello,
What you sold belongs to the non-Jew from the day of Yovel, and therefore it cannot be used afterward.
There is leniency for short-term use if it is assumed that the owner does not mind.
