#A person should violate Shabbat in order to save someone who tried to commit suicide.<ref>Yabia Omer OC 8:37:5, Chazon Ovadia Shabbat v. 1 p. 125 cited by Tiferet 328:5. Yabia Omer cites as support the Birkei Yosef 301:6, Maharam Yafa 13, Divrei Yisachar 169, Kli Chemda Ki Tzetsei, Maharam Rotenbuerg 39, Mishna Halachot 8:56, Maharil Diskin Kuntres Acharon 34, Tzitz Eliezer 8:15:4, Yeshuot Yisrael CM 21 to allow pikuach nefesh for someone who tried to commit suicide. On the other hand, Minchat Chinuch Kometz Mincha 230 and Vzot Lyehuda Kuntres Hashalom 11c seem to hold that pikuach nefesh doesn't apply to someone who tried to commit suicide.</ref> | #A person should violate Shabbat in order to save someone who tried to commit suicide.<ref>Yabia Omer OC 8:37:5, Chazon Ovadia Shabbat v. 1 p. 125 cited by Tiferet 328:5.

# If there's a danger that is life threatening after Shabbat and he cannot or he doesn't know if he can save the person from the danger at that time, it is permitted on Shabbat to violate Shabbat to prevent the danger. However, if he can prevent the danger after Shabbat he must do so and not violate Shabbat.<ref>Igrot Moshe O.C. 3:69. Rav Moshe writes that also if it is known on Friday that there will be a danger on Shabbat and Friday is Yom Tov it is forbidden to violate Yom Tov. When the situation arises on Shabbat he should violate Shabbat and not violate Yom Tov. However, he quotes Netsiv who permits violating Yom Tov to avoid violating Shabbat in this case. Rav Elyashiv (Haarot Yoma 84b s.v. ubikar) agrees with Rav Moshe. However, Rav Shlomo Zalman (Shulchan Shlomo 328:4:7, Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchata ch. 32 fnt. 105) agrees with Netsiv. This is relevant to someone who is on dialysis and needs treatment either on Yom Tov or Shabbat. Rav Shlomo Zalman says that it is preferable to violate Yom Tov on Friday even though he could wait until Shabbat.</ref> | |||
