Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chayim Siman 462

Siman 462

Presented here for study, not as a practical ruling. The Shulchan Aruch rules by Sephardi custom, the Rema's glosses by Ashkenazi custom, and the Kitzur follows Ashkenazi custom. For a practical question, ask your rabbi.

א מֵי פֵּרוֹת בְּלֹא מַיִם אֵין מַחְמִיצִין כְּלָל. וּמֻתָּר לֶאֱכֹל בְּפֶסַח מַצָּה שֶׁנִּלּוֹשָׁה בְּמֵי פֵּרוֹת אֲפִלּוּ שָׁהֲתָה כָּל הַיּוֹם, אֲבָל אֵין יוֹצֵא בָּהּ יְדֵי חוֹבָתוֹ מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהִיא מַצָּה עֲשִׁירָה וּקְרָא כְּתִיב לֶחֶם עֹנִי (דְּבָרִים טז, ג).
1 THE LAWS OF WETHER FRUIT JUICES LEAVEN; 7 SECTIONS Fruit juice without water does not leaven at all and is permitted to eat on Pesach Matzah which was kneaded with fruit juice, even if [the dough] was idle all the day. However, one may not fulfill his obligation with it, because of its Matzah Ashirah, and the verse states "lechem onee".
ב מֵי פֵּרוֹת עִם מַיִם מְמַהֲרִים לְהַחְמִיץ יוֹתֵר מִשְּׁאָר עִסָה הִילְכָּךְ אֵין לָלוּשׁ בָּהֶם; וְאִם לָשׁ בָּהֶם, יֹאפֶה מִיָּד.
2 Fruit juice with water accelerates leavening more than other dough, therefore one should not knead with them and if kneads with them he should bake it immediately.
ג מֻתָּר לָלוּשׁ בְּיַיִן אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאִי אֶפְשָׁר לוֹ בְּלֹא טִפַּת מַיִם שֶׁנּוֹפֶלֶת בִּשְׁעַת הַבָּצִיר, וְאַף לְכַתְּחִלָּה רְגִילִים לִתֵּן מַיִם בִּשְׁעַת הַבָּצִיר כְּדֵי לְהַתִּיר נִצֹּק וְאַף עַל פִּי כֵן אֵין לָחוּשׁ לָהֶם, הוֹאִיל וּכְבָר נִתְבַּטְּלוּ הַמַּיִם בַּיַּיִן קֹדֶם שֶׁלָּשׁוּ הָעִסָה.
3 It is permitted to knead with wine even though it's impossible that there wasn't a drop of water which fell into it at the time of pressing. Even initially, it is normal to put water at the time of pressing in order to permit [impurities] via connecting flow. Nevertheless, we are not concerned about this since afterward, the water is neutralized in the [proprotion to the] wine prior to kneading the dough.
ד מֵי בֵּיצִים וּשְׁאָר מַשְׁקִים, כֻּלָּם הֲווּ בִּכְלַל מֵי פֵּרוֹת. הַגָּה: וּבִמְדִינוֹת אֵלּוּ אֵין נוֹהֲגִין לָלוּשׁ בְּמֵי פֵּרוֹת, וַאֲפִלּוּ לִקְטֹף הַמַּצּוֹת אֵין נוֹהֲגִין רַק לְאַחַר אֲפִיָּתָן בְּעוֹדָן חַמִּין, וְאֵין לְשַׁנּוֹת אִם לֹא בִּשְׁעַת הַדַּחַק לְצָרְכֵי חוֹלֶה אוֹ זָקֵן הַצָּרִיךְ לָזֶה.
4 Egg liquid and all other liquids are generalized with fruit juice. Rema: and in these countries [Ashkenaz] it is not practiced to knead in fruit juice and even to batter the Matzot is only practiced after they are baked and still hot. One should not deviate from this when not a time of need. The needs of the sick or elderly are [examples] of this.
ה הַלָּשׁ עִסָה בְּמֵי פֵּרוֹת, טוֹב לַעֲשׂוֹתָהּ פָּחוֹת מִכְּשִׁעוּר עִשָּׂרוֹן, כְּדֵי שֶׁלֹּא תִּתְחַיֵּב בְּחַלָּה.
5 [When] kneading dough in fruit juice, it is good to do with less than the measure of an "eesarone"[43.2 eggs] so that one isn't obligated in Challah tithe.
ו חִטָּה שֶׁנִּמְצֵאת בִּדְבַשׁ אוֹ בְּיַיִן וְחֹמֶץ, מֻתָּר, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא נִתְעָרֵב בָּהֶם מַיִם.
6 Wheat which was found in honey or wine and vinegar is permitted, provided water has not mixed into it.
ז יֵשׁ לְבָרֵר הַמֶּלַח קֹדֶם פֶּסַח מֵחִטִּים שֶׁלֹּא יִהְיוּ בְּתוֹכוֹ, כִּי כְּשֶׁהַמֶּלַח מִתְלַחְלֵחַ הוּא נִכְנָס מְעַט מְעַט בַּחִטִּים וּמִתְחַמֵּץ.
7 One should sift the salt prior to Pesach [so that] there is not wheat within it, for when the salt becomes wet, a minute amount of the moisture enters the wheat and it will leaven.
