[Avodah] Rabbi not answering a question

[Joel Rich]

There are at least three  halachic concepts that directly relate to this:

a) mutav sheyihu shogegain v'al heyhyu mezidin (see Beitza 30a) - if you
suspect that they will not follow the halacha anyway ,better that they do it
out of ignorance and do not sin deliberately;
============================
Does this apply when asked a direct question?
=========================

b) Halacha v'ain morin ken - a concept that is used at least seven times in
the Talmud (see Shabbat 12b, Eruvin 7a, Beitza 28b, Baba Kama 30b, Avodah
Zara 37b and  Menachot 37b).  Over simplistically - the concept of halacha
v'ain morin ken is used in circumstances where there are significant risks
of misunderstanding whether wilful or otherwise, with, usually, the
potential consequence of more significant breach of the halacha.  This
differs from the above in that it is not so much in relation to the
particular matter being asked about, but as a knock on effect, e.g.
something might be derived, or understood from what is said that leads to
other actions being taken that are incorrect; and

Does this apply when asked a direct question?
