Question
Is there a prohibition against throwing seeds on a path in the yard where people walk, if I have no intention of planting them, and it's just a matter of convenience?
Answer
Hello,
There is no prohibition against throwing seeds in a place where people constantly walk, because they do not grow. Even if something does grow, he does not intend for it to grow, and it is not a 'psik reisha' [inevitable that the seed will grow].
