Question
Hello,
I am a Sofer, and sometimes when the line is tight and I want to maintain spacing between the letters, I use my kosher smartphone, which has a magnifying feature, and this is how I write.
Sometimes it happens that while looking at the phone, I write.
The question is whether there is an issue with the fact that I am not actually seeing the writing with my own eyes.
Answer
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita
One should not act in this manner.
