Marit Ayin/Suspicious actions: Difference between revisions

* The Knesset Hagedola (Bet Yosef 87:8) writes that it is permitted to have parve milk after meat if the meat was already removed from the table. Yabia Omer YD 6:8 and Badei HaShulchan 87:42 agree. In the footnote of Badei Hashulchan (87:86) he cites the Shulchan Gavoha who is lenient even if the meat wasn't cleared. </ref>  

# Similarly, one is permitted to put margarine on meat,<ref>Cheshev Ha’efod 1:20:page 17, see Yugel Yaakov 23, Badi Hashulchan 87:48.

* Maadeni Asher (siman 36) writes that it is permitted to have meat with parve margarine since it is common and regular, so no one will assume that it is a forbidden combination of meat and milk. The Daat Torah 87 agrees. This is based on the concept of the Peleti 87:8 that if something is commonly used there's no marit ayin. However, the Badei Hashulchan (87 s.v. Mishum Marit Ayin) argues that even if it is common for people to cook with and eat parve milk, such as soy milk, or parve butter, such as margarine, there is still marit ayin.</ref> or butter on a soy burger since it is known to all that there exists pareve meat etc. In the company of people who do not know that there are such pareve products one should let them know what he is eating in order for them not to think he is doing incorrectly.<ref>Hechsheiros (ch. 10, no. 99). He adds there that it is proper not to walk in the street eating a soy sandwich with a milk drink in your hand.</ref> One who wishes to drink pareve milk (which is not known to people) with meat should place the container on the table.<ref>Hechsheiros 10:42.  

* The Badei Hashulchan 87:47 writes that it is sufficient to leave the container of the parve milk near the food which has parve milk and meat together. Though he holds (Biurim s.v. shekedim) considers a note stating that it is parve milk to be insufficient to make it recognizable that there's no forbidden meat and milk.</ref>
