Question
Continuing regarding the previous question about the stairwell. I just emphasize that I have no other option to go, and I need to go to the minyanim on Shabbat. Is it still forbidden to walk in a stairwell where the light turns on as you pass by due to sensors, even if it might be a psik reisha?
Answer
Hello,
Even if you cannot go to prayer, there is no permission.
Because it is defined as psik reisha d'nicha lei - his desire is for the light in the stairwell.
