Question
I have an etrog from last year that is sanctified with the sanctity of Shemitah. Am I allowed to throw it away or burn it in the chametz burning?
Answer
Hello,
It is forbidden to burn or destroy a fruit sanctified with the sanctity of Shemitah.
Instead, it should be left to decompose on its own.
