#761 Don't Plug Away

Question

Normal

Q. May I plug during Shabbos a cooking appliance into an

outlet that is now not powered but will be turned on by a timer later on?

Answer

Horav Shlomo

Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that it is prohibited since it is a P’sik Reisha

Denicha Lei, or an inevitable act that one desires. He would prohibit this in

Yom Tov too.
