However, Pri [[Chadash]] 695:4 holds that it’s enough that it’s slaughtered even if it’s raw.

Chayav), Halichot Shlomo (pg 336), and Chazon Ovadyah (pg 129) hold that it’s only preferable. </ref> | # If the receiver of the Mishloach Manot is wealthy, it’s proper that the Mishloach Manot be according to his honor. <ref>Chaye Adam (vol 3, 155:31) quotes the Yerushalmi which implies that to fulfill one’s obligation the Mishloach Manot must be according to the honor of the receiver.
