Question
My mother does not observe the commandments, and she is asking me for a loan. It seems to me that it is for a flight she will take on Shabbat. Am I allowed to lend her money?
Answer
It is preferable to avoid it, but if that is not possible, it is permitted (if she will obtain the money for the trip anyway).
