Question
I am taking a course divided between recorded lessons and Zoom sessions. The instructors ask us to send them questions that arise from the recordings to base the Zoom session on them. The request is to send the questions 24 hours before the Zoom session, which will take place on Sunday at 9 AM, meaning there is time to send until Saturday morning. Of course, I don't think they observe Shabbat, and I am concerned that if I send questions, they might read them on Shabbat. Am I allowed to send questions?
Answer
Hello,
If you send them the questions well before Shabbat, there will be no reason for them to work on it specifically on Shabbat, and if they do so, it will be their choice and not necessarily because of you.
