==Placing Items under a Bed== | |||
# One may not place food even if it is covered<Ref>Shach 116:4, Pri Chadash 116:6 based on Gemara Pesachim 112a and Bava Batra 58a</ref> under a bed because there is a concern that ruach raah coming upon it.<ref>Gemara Pesachim 112a, Shulchan Aruch YD 116:5</ref> This applies to raw or cooked food and even water.<Ref>Pitchei Teshuva 116:5 citing the Binat Adam 63</ref> | |||
# If one already put food under a bed some poskim hold that the food may be eaten, while others say that it should be thrown out.<ref>Pitchei Teshuva 116:4 citing the Shvut Yakov 2:105 writes that after the fact if the food was under the bed it is still permissible to eat it. However, the Binat Adam 63 quotes the Gra as holding that one should throw away the food. Rav Ovadia Yosef in Yabia Omer YD 1:9 concludes that if there's a large loss the food doesn't have to be thrown out and if no one slept on the bed when the food was there it is permitted after the fact even if it isn't a large loss.</ref> | |||
# Some say that this ruach raah only applies to food that was under a bed when someone was sleeping on it, but others disagree.<ref>Torat Chaim Bava Batra 58b writes that the ruach raah is a result of the tumah that descends upon a person who is sleeping, which is akin to death, and transfers to anything under him. However, the Darkei Teshuva 116:38 quotes the Or Yitzchak 14 who writes that this applies even to food under a bed that no one slept in. See Pri Hasadeh 5.</ref> | |||
# There is a discussion if this concern also applies to a bed of a non-Jew.<ref>The Darkei Teshuva 116:39 cites a discussion about food under a bed of a non-Jew. The Degel Efraim 28 holds that there is ruach raah. The Teshurat Shay 2:116 writes that there's no concern of ruach raah under a bed of a non-Jew.</ref> | |||
# Some say that there is no concern of placing food underneath one's pillow.<ref>Darkei Teshuva 116:37 quotes the Mizmor Ldovid who holds that there's no concern of ruach raah under one's pillow.</ref> | |||
# There is no concern of ruach raah on utensils other than food.<ref>Darkei Teshuva 116:36 quoting the Or Yitzchak 14</ref> | |||
