May One Give Directions To A Jewish Driver On Shabbat?

May One Give Directions To A Jewish Driver On Shabbat?
Day: Friday
Date: May 30, 2014
Parshat: Naso
Source: Yalkut Yosef: 318


One who is stopped on Shabbat by a Jewish driver asking for directions may not answer since by doing so he is helping to propagate chilul Shabbat. One instead may tell him "today is Shabbat and it is forbidden to assist in chilul Shabbat." If however the driver is asking for directions to a hospital one may answer since he maybe be going for pikuach nefesh.


The DSH is brought to you in memory of Rabbi Mordechai ben Daniel. Please visit us online at sephardichalacha.org
