Question:
i sell 4 minim and would like to pay for merchandise and partners etc. This requires lots of accounting and counting etc.
My question is whether this is permitted on Chol Hamoed – nobody specicifically wants it now and all expect it after YT but I prefer to have all payments made etc. asap.
Answer:
It should wait until after Chol Hamoed. The reason is because it is not needed for Yom Tov, and it involves melacha and a considerable tircha.
