Question
Hello, A person is studying with a chavruta who is much older than him and hears that the chavruta is traveling to Jerusalem. Is it permissible to say that there is a halacha requiring one to tear their garment upon seeing the Western Wall, or is making such a statement considered issuing a halachic ruling in the presence of one's rabbi?
Answer
Hello
There is no issue with requesting help from an older person.
