Question
I stayed at a hotel in the north that advertises itself as catering to the Hasidic community, but unlike all previous times, this time I received a room in the wing adjacent to the pool. I was horrified to discover that the pool is exposed to the view of all guests in that wing. Not only is there a serious issue regarding looking towards the pool, but also the innocent women who believe the pool is covered, as it appears from the inside (as they truly thought every time we were there), but in fact, everyone in the pool is completely visible to hotel guests without their knowledge. I wrote a letter to the hotel management (to the official email as they advertise), and so far I have not received any response. Is it permissible for me to publish to the public the picture I took from my room (when the pool was empty, of course), by which it can be clearly seen the existing problem, and to warn them to prevent a stumbling block for the virtuous daughters of Israel, until the matter is corrected?
Answer
Shalom u'vracha
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita
You should warn them again, and if they do not listen, you should publicize the issue to the public.
