Question
From when is it prohibited to buy watermelon in the market without supervision?
Answer
On the 3rd of Tishrei 5782, any produce of this type harvested from Rosh Hashanah is sanctified with the sanctity of the Shemitah year, and there is a prohibition on commerce. However, according to Rambam, the prohibition of 'sefichin' applies from this time, whereas according to Rashi and Ramban, the prohibition of 'sefichin' will only apply from the time the species begins to grow in the Shemitah year. From the 29th of Adar I 5782, there is produce in the market that was sown in the Shemitah year.
