Smelling the Etrog and Myrtle
Question
Is it permissible to smell the Etrog and Myrtle designated for a mitzvah?
Answer
It is forbidden to smell the myrtle designated for a mitzvah during all the days of the Sukkot festival, as they have been set aside for the mitzvah and not for smelling.
However, before the festival or after it, it is permitted.
