I was outside the sukkah when the rain stopped
Question
It was raining on Sukkoth, and because of that we started eating or went to sleep outside the sukkah. Then, after a while, the rain stopped. Do we have to move to the sukkah, or can we continue eating/sleeping outside the sukkah?
Answer
If when the rain stopped you were in the middle of your meal or in the middle of sleeping, you don’t have to go back to the sukkah until you finish your meal or get up from your sleep.
