Straightening Glasses on Shabbat
Question
Hello Rabbi, my glasses got bent on Shabbat to the point where they can't be worn.
Is it permissible to straighten them if it's not done professionally?
Thank you very much.
Answer
Shalom,
It is prohibited to straighten them, since by doing so he is repairing them to be fit for use.
