Sleeping In A Room Who's Light Was Turned Off On Shabbat

Sleeping In A Room Who's Light Was Turned Off On Shabbat Day: Thursday Date: May 22, 2014 Parshat: Bamidbar Source: Yalkut Yosef: 318 If the light in a room was turned off on Shabbat, one may still sleep in the room even if it was done on purpose. This is not considered benefiting from melacha done on Shabbat. Likewise, if the air-conditioner was turned off purposely because it got cold one may still stay in the room. One may not have benefit from the melachot mentioned previously or any other melacha that is done on Shabbat by a Jew on Shabbat if all the Poskim forbid doing that action on Shabbat. However, if there is a disagreement among the Poskim whether it's okay to do or not, one may benefit from it. The DSH is brought to you in memory of Rabbi Mordechai ben Daniel.
