Unnecessary Expenditure – Chol Ha-Moed
Question
I wanted to ask if it is permissible to spend unnecessarily during Chol Ha-Moed (intermediate days of festivals).
Answer
Shalom!
Most authorities have permitted it, as it is a task that does not involve excessive toil. However, some wrote that it’s prohibited in the name of the Chazon Ish.
