Question
His mother, 75 years old, is limited in movement (suffering from ALS), it takes her a long time to answer the phone, and she insists on not having constant help even though she needs it. Is it permissible for the children to install cameras in the hallway and kitchen to check if she needs help?
Answer
Since the purpose is to save her, it is permitted.
