Question
An onion was cut, and there is doubt whether it was cut with a meat or a dairy knife, and he wants to mix it with milk. Is this permitted lechatchila (from the outset)?
Answer
One should not mix it, but if it was already mixed, it is permitted. However, lechatchila one should not mix it, because we do not create a double doubt (sfek sfeika) lechatchila.
