Q. Kvod Rabbenu Shlit”a. Although as you know, we are of of a mixed Ashkenasi and Sephardi background, yet our family tradition is not to eat Kitniyos during Pesach.
We are to invite this Pesach some very dear family members that do eat Kitnios and they will bring their own special traditional foods for the Seder that contain kitniyos . Can we serve their Kitniyos to them, in their different plates or are Kitniyos muktza for us? Showing our love to them and their precious kids is very, very important to all of us.
A. On a similar question (4199) we were asked: “If I don’t eat Kitniyos during Pesach, do they become muktza for me? If yes, then at our kiddush in shul, I will not be permitted to serve them to our Sephardi shul attendants who are permitted to eat them?
To what we answered: “Poskim permit and maintain that they do not become Muktza for Ashkenazim. (Kovetz Halochos 10: 5, and others).
