Question
Hello. A man whose wife is very emotionally overwhelmed and wants to spend Shabbat at her parents'. The parents are having over the wife's brother, who observes Torah and mitzvot, and his family for that Shabbat. However, he hears from his father-in-law that if he comes, his father-in-law will also invite his son who does not observe Torah and mitzvot, but used to. Unfortunately, he has started driving to his parents' on Shabbat. The man is unsure if by easing his wife's burden and going to his father-in-law's for Shabbat, he will be responsible for his brother-in-law, who does not observe Torah and mitzvot, driving on Shabbat.
Answer
Hello
Ask your father-in-law not to invite his son, who desecrates Shabbat, for part of the Shabbat, but for the entire Shabbat, so that he does not desecrate Shabbat.
