# If someone finds chametz on Pesach if it is [[Chol Hamoed]] he should remove it and destroy it immediately. If it is [[Yom Tov]] he should cover it until the nighttime and then destory it. On Yom Tov itself it is muktzeh and it is forbidden to burn it in its place.<ref>Gemara Pesachim 6a, Shulchan Aruch OC 446:1. Bet Yosef 446:1 cites a machloket rishonim whether one should burn it on Yom Tov if he didn't do bitul. Rashi, Ran, and Rabbenu Yechiel holding that one should burn it if one didn't do bitul and the Rambam disagreeing. Mishna Brurah 446:6 writes that most achronim side with those who say that one can at least take it and throw it in the wind it if one didn't do bitul but the minhag is always to just cover the chametz on Yom Tov.</ref> | # If someone finds chametz on Pesach if it is [[Chol Hamoed]] he should remove it and destroy it immediately.

# If one finds Chametz on Pesach if one sold one's chametz then one should simply put away that chametz together with the rest of the chametz that was sold to the non-Jew.<Ref>Mikrei Kodesh p. 231 writes that if you find chametz on pesach you should just put it away with the rest of your chametz since it was sold to a non-Jew and burning it would be stealing from the non-Jew. Furthermore, taking it to burn is acquiring it as a thief and it isn’t right to own the chametz on pesach even for that short period of time even though one intends to burn it (Tosfot Pesachim 29a).</ref> | # If one finds Chametz on Pesach if one sold one's chametz then one should simply put away that chametz together with the rest of the chametz that was sold to the non-Jew.<Ref>Mikrei Kodesh p. 231 writes that if you find chametz on pesach you should just put it away with the rest of your chametz since it was sold to a non-Jew and burning it would be stealing from the non-Jew.

Shevet Halevi 9:116 agrees and adds that if one picks it up to avoid any shaylah of acquiring it one could have explicit intention not to acquire it.</ref> | ||
