Separating waste from food on Shabbat, is it permissible to benefit from the prepared food?
One who separates waste from food is forbidden to benefit from the mixture that was prepared. However, if one returns and mixes the waste with the food, and afterward selects the food from the waste, it is permissible to benefit from what was done since the initial action was nullified [Chazon Ovadia 4, p. 442].
If someone improperly fixed an electrical short on Shabbat, is it permissible to benefit from the food that was heated?
If an electrical short occurred in a neighborhood and it can be assumed that there are sick people in the area, and Jews went and fixed the electricity, it is permissible to benefit from the electricity and from the foods that were heated on the hot plate. However, one who is stringent and removes the foods from the hot plate will be blessed [Chazon Ovadia 6, p. 158].
