#268 Selling all the chametz in the house when you have a housekeeper
Question
We are going away for Pesach and will be selling all the chametz in the house. We have a housekeeper. We will be giving her no instructions for when she comes in Yom Tov. We presume she will be doing light housework. Any problems?
Answer
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit"a opinion is that you should still ask her not to do any melochos that are prohibited in Shabbos and Yom Tov.
Additionally, you have to be careful with the Kashrus and bishul akum issues involved.
