A. It is permitted for a person to go out on Passover with matzah that was soaked. Likewise, Hatam Sofer wrote clearly that it is permissible, and the Pharisees are careful regarding soaking, lest some flour remain in the dough that did not bake well and thus fermented.

B. One who wishes to sanctify himself is permitted to refrain from eating soaked or cooked matzah, even if it is ground and kneaded, and he should not be forsaken. Those who are stringent should abstain from eating matzah crackers on Passover.

C. Our master Hafetz Hayim did not eat soaked matzah, but he allowed it for the members of his household.

D. Our master Rabbi Yaakov Yisroel Kanievsky covered the matzot throughout the holiday so that water would not come upon them.

E. There are those who are stringent not to eat matzah with anything else, and there are those who insist on cleaning the box from any dampness.

F. Roasted meat filled with matzah flour is considered soaked.

G. It seems that there is no need to be stringent not to dip baked matzah in water or a beverage if it is immediately placed into the mouth, as obviously there is no time for it to ferment at all, and certainly to dip it into wine, which is a fruit juice. In any case, our master Rabbi Shlomo Zalman instructed to hurry and eat immediately, so as not to give it time to ferment, and similarly, one who dips matzah in water should not let it sit for more than a minute. Rabbi Kanievsky was stringent for himself even with fruit juice. Even though he was lenient to say that there is no concern to eat matzah and drink water together since it is not soaked in the mouth, nevertheless, on the Seder night, he was stringent for himself even in this.

H. Those who are stringent regarding soaking do not use utensils that soaked matzah was eaten from, while others are not particular.

I. Some say there is no concern for soaking in butter and cheese.

J. There is a debate among the recent authorities if it is permissible to put matzah in the refrigerator so that it remains moist.

K. It is obvious that it is permissible to schedule a meal with one who ate soaked matzah.

L. Doubtfully soaked matzah is permissible for everyone.

M. It was customary to eat soaked matzah on the last day of the Diaspora. Some say it is to show that those who eat soaked matzah on Passover did not transgress any prohibition. Some say it is because of the joy of the holiday. And some say it is to unite with the entire people of Israel at the moment when it is possible.

N. Preparing soaked matzah for the last day of the Diaspora depends on customs.

O. A woman should act according to her husband's custom, whether stringent or lenient.
