Question
Hello, I have set up an automatic email reminder every day. Is it permissible to leave this automatic function to send the reminder on Shabbat and holidays as well?
Answer
Hello,
There is no issue with the computer sending emails automatically based on instructions given in advance.
However, there can sometimes be a problem: a. If the recipient opens the message on Shabbat, you have caused them to perform a prohibited action. b. If the recipient does not see that the message was sent by pre-Shabbat instruction, there is a prohibition as you bring upon yourself suspicion of performing work on Shabbat.
