Question

Question: On Friday, after my wife lit the candles and I accepted Shabbat, I discovered that I forgot to turn off the oven with the fish (the fish was in the oven). Am I allowed to tell my young child to turn off the oven?

Answer

See Pri Megadim (there, sk 1): The minority follows the majority, and it seems the same applies to the head of the household.

See Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim, Siman 263, Sif 10.
