Breaking an Object That Is Causing Me Harm
Question
Is it permitted to damage another person’s object if that object is causing me harm?
Answer
Shalom u’vrachah
If you can remove the source of the harm without damaging his property, you may not damage it.
But if there is no other way, it is permitted to damage the thing that is causing the harm.
