Question
What is the prohibition of Na'aved?
Answer
Fruits that have had prohibited work done on them during the Sabbatical year — there are those who are stringent and forbid eating them. Even those who permit eating them still advise against purchasing them due to 'placing a stumbling block before the blind' and aiding transgressors, as this causes the owners to continue working in violation.
