Question

And likewise, when a dangerously ill patient is in a very cold apartment, to the point that it is dangerous for him if the home is not heated, even though the neighbor has a heater on, there is no need to ask him to give up his comfort and bring the patient into his home; rather, they should turn on the heater in the patient’s apartment, because saving a life overrides the Sabbath. And even if they asked the neighbor to bring the patient into his home, he is not obligated to comply with their request (following Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchatah 32, note 174, who derived this from the law of “one who comes in through a tunnel,” where the homeowner is not required to yield to the thief).
