Bitul Chametz

From Halachipedia
  1. Everyone should make one’s own Bitul Chametz [1]
  2. The nullification during the day should be done before the sixth hour, so that the chametz that you nullify is still yours when you nullify it. [2] but after the burning. [3]

Bitul at Night

  1. According to ashkenazim the bitul said after the bedika is כל חמירא וחמיעא דאיכא ברשותי, דלא חזיתיה ודלא בערתיה, לבטיל ולהוי הפקר כעפרא דארעא. “All chametz or leaven in my possession that I have not seen, and have not destroyed, shall be nullified and become ownerless, like the dust of the earth.” [4]

Bitul During the Day

  1. The nullification done after the burning in the morning includes all remaining chametz therefore the text is “כל חמירא וחמיעא דאיכא ברשותי, דחזיתיה ודלא חזיתיה, דבערתיה ודלא בערתיה, לבטיל ולהוי הפקר כעפרא דארעא”

“All chametz or leaven in my possession that I have seen and that I have not seen, that I have destroyed and that I have not destroyed, shall be nullified and become ownerless, like the dust of the earth”. [5]
