When either option is forbidden

Question:

Hello Rabbi,
I am trying to understand what to do in situations when it seems that either option violates halacha. For example, if I understand correctly, it is forbidden to both eat skin and to remove skin on Shabbat. What should one do if there is loose skin on lip while eating? Doing nothing may result in ingesting the skin but wiping it off is not permitted.

Thank you

 

Answer:

Hello,

You do not have to worry that loose skin will get mistakenly eaten, because it is unintentional. Therefore, just make sure not to pull any skin off your lips on Shabbos, and then you are fine.

Best wishes
