A Gentile Prophet in a Temporary Emergency Ruling
Question
If a gentile meets all the tests of a true prophet, performs signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, and urges people with all his might to observe the Torah and commandments, but issues a temporary emergency ruling to wear wool and linen mixed together for one day—would one be obligated / permitted to obey him?
Answer
I think not. A gentile does not belong to the halakhic sphere.
