Is it permitted to fold laundry on Chol HaMoed?
Question
In the merit of a good Yom Tov, I wanted to ask whether it is permitted to fold laundry on Chol HaMoed? Thank you, and good news.
Answer
In the merit of a good Yom Tov, If the folding is for the needs of Chol HaMoed, it is permitted (Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchatah, part 2, chapter 66, section 56; see also Responsa Mishneh Halachot, part 11, siman 434, and Chut Shani - Chol HaMoed, page 240). And even if it is bothering the house, the folding is considered for the needs of Chol HaMoed, and is permitted.
With blessings, Hillel Meirs
