Question
Is it permissible to buy a sofa for a new home during Chol Hamoed?
Answer
Hello,
It is permissible to buy in two cases. A. For use during the festival itself. B. In the case of a significant discount that will not be available after the festival.
Even in permissible cases, it is only allowed to buy from a store that is open according to the rules, meaning either a store that also sells food or a store that is open with some change from the usual [such as doors partially open].
