Question
Hello, we are in a hotel abroad. In the lobby and corridor, the lights turn on when you leave the room. What is the solution for Shabbat?
Answer
Hello
It is forbidden to go out to the lobby and other places where the electricity turns on automatically, except when a non-Jew goes there for their own needs.
It might be possible to ask the management to disable this in the area of your room.
