Question
A contractor building a building in a Jewish neighborhood is sitting shiva. Can the workers continue their work during his mourning days?
Answer
Workers are prohibited from continuing their work, even on a contract basis, and certainly not on a daily or hourly wage, until after the shiva, due to appearances.
