Donating an Electric Toy That May Lead to Shabbat Desecration
Question
Hello and blessings, Rabbi. I have merited to donate several hundred toys to sick children. Should I refrain from buying them remote-control cars, out of concern that they will use them on Shabbat?
Answer
Hello and blessings
Fortunate are you for your donations.
One should refrain from donating electric toys to children who are not observant of the mitzvot, since by doing so you may cause them to desecrate Shabbat.
