Question
I need to eat on Yom Kippur at a faster rate than 40 cc every nine minutes. Am I allowed to eat normally?
Answer
The time interval of eating every 9 minutes is the most stringent opinion, and when possible, it should be followed. However, there are many opinions among the poskim that the interval is every 4 minutes, and there are even opinions that one can eat every 2 minutes. Therefore, if one cannot be stringent according to the most stringent opinion, they should eat every 4 minutes, and if that is also not possible, they should eat every 2 minutes.
