Chametz Mixture Sold via Imprecise Agency Document

From: Rabbi Moshe Sofer

To: Rabbi Tzvi Hersh

Description

Barrels of fruit brandy containing grain spirits (a chametz mixture) are included in a pre-Pesach sale to a non-Jew, but the agent's sale document may not have explicitly mentioned chametz. The Chasam Sofer rules the sale was likely valid since 'chametz' inherently includes mixtures.
