Sanhedrin 073: Rodef on Shabbos
Dave Pine asked:
Can u please explain to me if and why it is permissible to kill a rodef or
someone that is chasing after a narah merusah to be maanes her on
shabbos?.....if yes, from where do we know it??
----------------------------------------------
The Kollel replies:
Clearly one may kill a Rodef on Shabbos, for Piku'ach Nefesh is Docheh
Shabbos. As for a Rodef after an Ervah, ostensibly whatever is Docheh the
Isur of Retzichah should also be Docheh the Isur of Shabbos as well.
However, the Mishneh l'Melech (Hilchos Shabbos 24:7) writes that it is
possible that the Rishonim argue with regard to one who is Rodef after an
Ervah. In addition, Rabeinu Yonah above (72b) states clearly that it may be
done even on Shabbos.
For further elucidation on the topic, Rav Y. F. Perlow to Sefer ha'Mitzvos
of Rav Sa'adyah Ga'on, vol. III, p. 16a.
