Question
I usually do not sell actual chametz in the sale of chametz. Also, in the sale contract, I did not specify that I sold actual chametz. Now it turns out that one of the children put a chametz candy in a cupboard that was sold to a non-Jew, and I did not check for chametz there. How should I proceed now?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
In the sale of chametz, it is explicitly stated that the sale applies to all chametz in your possession, wherever it may be.
Chametz, even if you were unaware of its existence, and it was in the area you sold, is nevertheless sold to the non-Jew. There is no need [and you have no right] to burn it.
