Question
Is it permissible for yeshiva students to ask the yeshiva's security guard, who is not Jewish, if any security events occurred on Shabbat (since there might be a concern that due to the question, the guard will open his phone to check)?
Answer
Hello
It seems to depend on the wording of the question. ,
If you tell him 'check what happened', it is prohibited.
But if you ask him 'do you know if something happened', there is no problem, because even if he checks, it will be for his own interest.
