While you are walking to the synagogue on Shabbat, a Jewish driver stops his car and asks you how to drive to that synagogue. Is there any problem giving him the directions? Are you facilitating or encouraging him to do a melacha?

Rabbi Benjamin Yasgur quotes Nechama Leibowitz, who said that Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach ruled that yes, you are allowed to give him directions, for two reasons:

  1. If you don't answer, the driver might commit additional violations if they choose the wrong way.

  2. Not answering might create animosity (איבה) between Jews.

    This was the practice of many great rabbis. Surprisingly, Rabbi Aaron Lichtenstein shlit'a is of the opinion that you apologize and say you don't know. – Shalom May 9 '14 at 22:35
