* The Rif (Betizah 12a) however, explains that cooking the meat on the coals is permitted because it doesn't cause the coals to be extinguished. The Ramban (Milchamot 12a s.v. Amar HaKotev Zeh) and Ran (12a s.v. Iybaya) explain the Rif as saying that putting the meat on the coals isn't considered extinguishing because it is temporary and will reignite. Accordingly, the Rif holds that in general one may not extinguish for the purposes of Ochel Nefesh. | * The Rif (Betizah 12a) however, explains that cooking the meat on the coals is permitted because it doesn't cause the coals to be extinguished.

* The Rosh (Beitzah 2:23) quotes the version of the Rif, but seems to side with Rashi in Beitzah 4:8. Additionally, the Rambam (Yom Tov 4:6) doesn't side clearly with the Rif or Rashi. With regards to the halacha, although the Bet Yosef 511:4 quotes the Rif and Ran, in Shulchan Aruch 507:4 it is clear he follows the opinion of Rashi. Taz 511:7, Eliyah Rabba 511:6, and Mishna Brurah 511:25 rule like Rashi that extinguishing is permitted for Ochel Nefesh. </ref> | * The Rosh (Beitzah 2:23) quotes the version of the Rif, but seems to side with Rashi in Beitzah 4:8.

* The Sefer Hachinuch (Mitzvah 298) and Raah (Beitzah 22a s.v. eytevey) might have a middle opinion. If the kibbuy directly prevents the food from being burnt that isn't ochel nefesh, however, if the kibbuy is part of the normal process of cooking that is permitted. Another similar compromise is the opinion of the Meiri (Beitzah 22a s.v. vchen) who holds that kibbuy as a necessary unintended part of the cooking is permitted but actual direct kibbuy is forbidden. See footnotes to Rashba (Beitzah 22a Mosad Rav Kook fnt. 226) who suggests that Rashi 22a s.v. chayav agrees with the Meiri. However, Eliya Rabba 514:6 understands Rashi differently. | |||
* Sephardim are strict like the Rif as is the ruling of Shulchan Aruch 514:1. | |||
* Agudah (Beitzah 2:33) holds that directly violating extinguishing for the purposes of eating on Yom Tov is permitted. Therefore, he permits removing oil from a burning flame on Yom Tov. However, Eliya Rabba 514:6 writes that the Rashba in Avodat Hakodesh (Bet Moed 3:3:18), Roke'ach (299), Rabbenu Yerucham (4:1 29b) hold that removing oil from a candle in order to eat the oil is forbidden on yom tov. Meiri (Beitzah 22a s.v. gedolei) also forbids. </ref> | |||
