“The kids that stole the afikomon matzah, they can’t be yotzeh with the matza they stole – it’s mitzva ha’ba b’averah”
I know you’re just joking around anyway, but you realize that every major acharon except the Baal Hatanya poskens that mitzvah habah b’averah is still yotzi b’dieved? Did you accidentally out yourself as a Lubavitcher again? Or, is this all part of your incredibly intricate CR account build?

iac:
The OU you referenced is understating it. The Machaber permits it, and the Rema does not; most Ashkenazim would not present that as “the Shulchan Aruch allows it.”
The OP’s question was, I believe, whether or not he could use matzah ashirah to make motzi (not al achilas matzah) so that his washing would not be wasted. I believe the entire shailah is built on false pretenses.
