Question
Is there room to be lenient in our times, when beef bones are not eaten, to return the lid of a pot containing these bones, even though they soften as a result, due to the principle of 'psik reisha de-lo nicha lei'?
Answer
Shalom Rav
The poskim have permitted causing the softening of bones, in cases where they are not eaten, for the reason you mentioned.
