Setting Aside Money for Maaser Sheni in Case of Doubt
Question
Hello,
Mishna Maaser Sheni, Chapter 5, Mishna 1,
we see that the modest leave money at home for those who have picked fruits that require redemption.
The question is - these coins become sacred and must be used to buy fruits and eat them in Jerusalem only if someone has indeed picked. So how do the modest act regarding these coins? How do they know whether they are secular or sacred?
Answer
Hello
They treat them as Maaser Sheni due to doubt.
That is, they buy only food with them and eat it in Jerusalem due to the doubt.
