Question
Is it permissible to throw seeds on the ground on Shabbat, or should one be concerned that they might grow, and I am essentially planting, even though I have no intention for anything to grow?
Answer
Hello Rabbi, it is forbidden to throw seeds capable of growing in a damp place or a place where rain is expected, as the seeds may later sprout or take root in the ground and grow.
