Printing Leisure Articles on Hol HaMoed
Question
Is it permitted to print articles from the internet during Hol HaMoed, when these are interesting articles meant for enjoyment and leisure? For example, if I have a particular hobby and I want to read about it—would that be considered a festival need, and therefore permitted?
Answer
What prohibition is there in printing? Even if this were considered writing, it would still be permitted for the needs of the festival.
