Q. I am living now separate from my parents due to corona concerns. My parents bring me food for me to eat. Is it permitted for me to invite bachurim to my dira and share the food with them? My parents would not approve (they are not frum), but perhaps we can say that once the food was given to me (as a matana – present), it belongs to me and I can do whatever I want. Or do we say that there is an implied tnai (condition) that only I can eat it?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that after asserting that the food you are receiving from your non-frum yet parents is kosher, it may in principle be shared with others, being careful to follow the covid prevention guidelines. The above assumes, that they probably agree that sharing it with others is better than throwing away the leftovers.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as advised by Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit’a
