Question:
Shalom.
We know that mikar hadin there’s no need to sell the chametz that’s absorbed in the pots and pans but what would be the reason to do so and what the earliest sources we can find that we do so?
Thank you.
Answer:
What you are writing is correct and l’halacha you don’t have to sell chometz that is absorbed inpots and pans, however it is done in order to distance ourselves so that we will nothave even the smallest amount of chometz in our possession.
