[Avodah] pikuach nefesh?

[Micha Berger via Avodah]

I stumbled across another data point in Hilkhos Askanus researching
something that came up in another internet contretemps.

In Yabia Omer vol 7 YD #12, ROY pasqens that an Israeli politician that
is invited to pray in a Mosque is permitted to do so rather than offend
the contact inviting him.

This is not as extreme as some of the other cases. For example, most
posqim allowed davening at Me'aras haMachpeilah even when it was entirely
mosque.

But an interesting "coincidence" none-the-less. (Interesting to me,
that is.)

Tir'u baTov!
