Reading by candlelight on Shabbat
Greetings to the Rabbi
I wanted to ask if you think it is possible to make it easier to light the candle on Shabbat using today’s girls who are waxed and do not belong in them, lest they be tempted. Especially if I add a barrier like putting it far away or a partition between me and him or a note with the word Shabbat, etc.

This is problematic, especially in light of what the Shulchan Arutz Sheva ruled that it is forbidden to read the light of a candle even when it is ten cubits high without a flame, unless its name is a keeper.
Although I do not completely rule out the possibility of a permit, as we found several things in which they were permitted where the reality has completely changed (in the light of the fact that bias does not belong). I think it would be good to have a consensus on this among many of the sages of our time, and then it could be permitted.

Asker (another):
I saw this opinion in Yalkut Yosef:
Wax candles The poskim are divided on whether it is permissible to read by their light on Shabbat night. Some prohibit it because the head of the wick will be cut off and it will be extinguished, and some poskim permit it. And although the main point is the opinion of those who prohibit it because it is the opinion of Maran Beit Yosef, in any case, wax candles in our time, whose light is clear and does not require mithika, are permitted to read by their light. The same is true of candles made of paraffin, whose light is very clear, which are permitted to read by their light. [Here is the statement of Maran in Responsa Yabia Umar, Part 1, Sign 16, Letter 6-9, which is explained more strictly with wax candles, and it is also explained in Yalkut Yosef, First Edition, Shabbat, Volume 1, Page 17. However, in Halikhot Olam 83, he showed a face to be lenient in this regard. And from a recent change, the main point is. And this is the way of the Torah.]

Rabbi:
Well then, this is a doubt of the Durbanites and it can be alleviated.
