Question
Shalom and blessings. I do sewing repairs on clothes. Am I allowed to sew for relatives (who would be offended if I refuse) if the garment will be less modest after the repair than before? Thank you very much
Answer
Shalom Rav
It is permissible to be lenient and repair according to their wishes.
