Question
Is it permissible to read books that have not been cleaned for Passover? Thank you very much, have a kosher and happy Passover.
Answer
Hello and joyous holidays
According to the Mishnah Berurah, it is permissible. There is no concern that there will be pieces the size of a kezayit, and even if there are crumbs, they are certainly slightly soiled. To the extent that a person would not come to eat them from there.
However, according to the Chazon Ish, there is no leniency for less than a kezayit and soiled - therefore, they should be sold to a non-Jew if not checked properly. And certainly, it is forbidden to use them.
