[Nfbj] Blindness and shemirat negiah

[Judith Bron]

In order to understand all of this without inserting opinion, you have to 
understand that the role of a Rav is to answer questions in a way that will 
prevent the questioner from committing any kind of sin.  My having to use 
the cane in the house if I was going to use it outside on Shabbos, didn't 
make any sense to me.  However, I asked the question and was therefore 
obligarted to listen to the answer.  None of us is educated enough to answer 
tricky questions like this.  That is why we consult a Rav.  Like I said a 
few posts ago, I hold my husband's arm outside.  I don't grab for the arm of 
a stranger.  Judith

Not a homework assignment, just an educated guess.
