A Chiloni man wrote me an email on shabbos. May I read it after Shabbos. I am not sure, but I think that his family is shomer shabbas and he left the “derech”.
Thank you
Answer:
It may be read after Shabbos. Benefiting from a Shabbos violation is permitted by others [who did not do the transgression] after Shabbos is over.
