Question:
Dear Rabbi.
What is the Halacha if a non-Jew shows you a cell phone on Shabbos, for example, a security guard asks you for directions using a map? Would you be allowed to look?
Kind regards,
Answer:
Hello,
Yes, you may look and give him directions, as this is meant for him to do, not you. However, make sure not to touch the phone on Shabbos, because the phone doesn’t have any Shabbos use, so it is muktza.
Best wishes
