A secular friend and a friend’s family
peace!
I would be grateful if you could answer two questions that are on my mind:
1. What is the ruling in the case where a friend who does not abstain from meat and dairy asks me for something dairy after eating meat/while he is eating meat? Should I also offer it to him?
2. My friend’s family is completely secular. Some of the main dishes in her house are not immersable. We didn’t have time to immersable them all. What should I do if I’m staying with them on Shabbat? I know it could hurt them if I eat on disposable dishes.
Thanks in advance!

- It is better not to give them at the same time. When there is even a slight time gap, one can perhaps be lenient, as this is a rabbinical prohibition.
- If this is a long-term relationship and the problem will recur several times, it is better to explain the need and suggest that you immerse the dishes yourself (at least your own). Does she herself not observe the mitzvot? If so, it is better for her to suggest it. In times of great stress, there is room for leniency (because there are some exceptions regarding the immersion of various dishes, and also if the obligation is on the ba’ab or the guest, etc.).

When it is together, it is a rabbinical prohibition because from the Torah, only what is cooked together is prohibited (and the matter of a lump must be discussed). And this is assuming that he eats meat and not poultry.
When there is a time gap, there is disagreement among the poskim whether there is a rabbinical prohibition. The Gemara did not mention such a prohibition, but only a story about someone who waited.
Yishai,
Drabnan, this is more serious than Torah
Anyone who violates the words of the Sages is liable to death…
According to your system, what was not cooked together was permissible in the past, they would answer, they would eat a cheeseburger because it was not cooked together?
Moshe
This is not a systematic matter. This is a simple rule.
Cheeseburger should be discussed from the perspective of a lump. The argument is that a lump cooks, so a hot hamburger that you put cheese on cooks it.
