Mishloah Manot through an Emissary

Q: Should one only send Mishloah Manot through an emissary?

A: Some Poskim derive from the Megilla’s expression: “Mishloah” Manot – which means to send, that it is preferable not to deliver the Mishloah Manot yourself but rather send it through an emissary[1]. Some even maintain that this is the only way to fulfill the Mitzva[2]. However, the custom is to rely on the Poskim that allow one to deliver the Mishloah Manot themselves[3]. [Answered by Rabbi Moshe Pinhasi]
