Yalkut Yosef: O"H 328
If there is a suspected pikuah nefesh situation, it is forbidden to waste time by going to ask a Rabbi whether or not Shabbat should be broken because of it. Our Hachamim have said (Yerushalmi Yuma 8:5) that a person who asks about a pikuah nefesh is guilty of bloodshed. The reason is since any time spent asking about the injured or ill person instead helping him can put him in a worse spot and further endanger his life.
The DSH is brought to you in memory of Rabbi Mordechai ben Daniel. Please visit us online at sephardichalacha.org |
