Benefiting from a Movie Theater
Question
Hello,
If there is a movie at the theater that interests me, and the theater is open on the Sabbath, and I watch the movie after the Sabbath, is there any problem here?
The cafeteria does not have a kosher certificate, presumably because it is open on the Sabbath, but what it sells is popcorn, soft drinks, ice cream, and chocolate. In your opinion, is it permitted to buy from them?
Answer
There is no prohibition against making ordinary use of businesses that are open on the Sabbath.
