Question
Is it permissible during wedding dances to lift the groom on shoulders, just as it is forbidden to ride an animal without a saddle due to the concern of heating?
Answer
Although there are those who are stringent about this, and therefore it is indeed preferable for him to sit on a chair and be lifted that way, or a chair on a table and the table lifted, according to the essence of the law, it seems there is no prohibition, as he is concerned he might fall.
