Can one intentionally wait for a "painful" situation to be exempt from Sukkah?
The Gemara states (Sukkah 26a.9 et. al.): >מצטער פטור מן הסוכה > >One who is in pain is exempt from Sukkah This is codified as halacha in Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 640:4. Suppose it's going to pour later, and as such one would be exempt from Sukkah. Can one intentionally delay his meal, such that when he eats it will be raining and he may eat inside, or would this be a violation of the positive commandment to eat in a Sukkah? Does it make a difference if it's the first night or a later point on the holiday? As always, CYLOR if this is relevant for you.
