Q. See question above. We have also in our shul a number of elderly people that wear urinated clothing or worse, and even when they also wear some type of diapers, they stink, but want to stand next to me, the baal tokea.
Can I blow shofar in that case?
A. One of ways you may solve the problem without embarrassing the elders is by spraying down a bit of deodorant right in front of you. (See recent questions 5115, 5116 and others regarding the use of spray on Shabbos).
