Question
Hello Rabbi, Intercom in the building - is it permissible to close the building's door when there is an intercom, meaning is it considered locking the door in front of the poor, as it is forbidden to make a gate for the poor, and having an intercom is a hassle until they answer and open the main door, especially with an intercom that has a malfunction and cannot be opened from the house, only by pressing the code, [and it is mentioned that there is no real concern for thieves, etc.] Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello,
If there is a possibility to contact the homeowners through the intercom, there is no problem with it.
