Question

Is it permissible to listen to news from someone who learned it through desecration of Shabbat, God forbid? Is it allowed, forbidden, or not recommended? If possible, please provide sources. Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello,

It is permissible to listen to him after Shabbat.

However, it is forbidden to listen to him on Shabbat itself.
