Dish Received for Shabbat Meal
Question
The charity fund in the neighborhood sent me cooked chicken for Shabbat. Since I had prepared a little food beforehand, I preferred to keep the chicken for lunch during the week. Is there a problem with this?
Answer
Hello,
Food received for consumption on Shabbat should ideally not be kept for the week but eaten on Shabbat.
Therefore, it is better to eat the chicken on Shabbat, but whatever remains can certainly be eaten after Shabbat.
