| Feb 20, 2019 at 9:45 | comment | added | user8832 | @RibbisRabbiAndMore also why did Mordechi even give him water in the desert (although I heard that was actually his entire army fleet was asking for supplies, not just him personally asking for water), but still why did he help him at all -- he certainy had a chance then | |

| Jun 21, 2018 at 13:27 | comment | added | RibbisRabbiAndMore | @Jay If you assume that the reason was because Haman was surrounded by security detail etc. then bring a source for that. The poster has a right to ask whether anyone has a reliable reason (with a source) for Mordechai not killing Haman. Any question can be knocked down with "maybe this or maybe that", but the poster wants an answer with a source. | |

| Mar 12, 2017 at 4:40 | comment | added | Y e z | @Jay What makes you think that exempts him from this mitzvah? Unless you mean it was absolutely physically impossible? This is 2,500 years ago, they didn't exactly have secret service. | |
| Mar 10, 2017 at 15:30 | comment | added | Jay | Again, what makes you think he could have reached Haman before being killed? Haman very possibly traveled with a security detail whose sole job was to protect him from such attacks. | |
| Mar 10, 2017 at 6:01 | comment | added | msh210♦ | @DoubleAA re "Does 'in the face of danger' include certain Pikuach Nefesh?": The language he uses is sakana. He also notes that this is an exceptional mitzva on that it's not preempted by sakana. Sounds like he means pikuach nefesh. | |

| Mar 10, 2017 at 2:27 | comment | added | Y e z | @Jay The Chinuch requires it to be not dangerous. The Minchas Chinuch, on whose opinion my question is based, does not. Therefore, Mordechai's "opportunity" was whenever he saw Haman walking down the street. | |
| Mar 9, 2017 at 23:16 | comment | added | Jay | What makes you think it was within his power to kill Haman? According to the Chinuch, perhaps he indeed would have killed Haman if the opportunity had presented itself. The question is based on an assumption which is pure speculation - there's no way to know what the logistics and exact circumstances were regarding Haman's security and the feasibility of an assassination attempt. | |

| Mar 9, 2017 at 13:18 | comment | added | MTL | What about when he bought him as a slave? Haman was pretty powerless then | |
| Mar 9, 2017 at 6:14 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | Wouldn't Haman have been a Rodef anyway and hence permitted or even required to be killed? We don't have to come to Amalek to have this issue. | |

| Mar 9, 2017 at 4:50 | comment | added | Y e z | @DoubleAA I don't know, but it includes at least as dangerous as war. I also don't know if Mordechai couldn't have run away afterwards, or killed him in some less conspicuous way. Thanks for fixing the tags. | |
