โ€œAnyone who studies Halachot every day is guaranteed that he is destined for the world-to-comeโ€ (Megilla 28b, Niddah 73a)


Question:

May one smell fruits attached to a tree on Shabbat?


Answer:

One is not permitted to smell a ripe fruit that is still attached to a tree. This is rabbinically prohibited, since one may get carried away and pick the fruit off of the tree as well. [1] It is permitted to smell flowers or hadassim that are still attached to the ground on Shabbat, since one is less likely to inadvertently pick them, since, unlike fruit, flowers are inedible. [2] Similarly, It is permitted to recite Birkat HaIlanot on Shabbat, as there is no rabbinic concern that one may come to pull the fruit off of the tree. [3]
