Question
Hello,
We bought an apartment in a construction project and found out after we already bought it that there were instances of Shabbat desecration, as the Chinese workers worked on Shabbat.
Is there a halachic issue with this?
Answer
Hello
Since it was done against your will, it is permitted.
