Not required- but what would his rav advise the ani to do? <
Acting *lifnim mishuras hadin*, I would think, is not subject to *p'saq*/asking
a *sh'eila*; and if one needs/feels the need to ask, the *p'saq* is
now *halacha
p'suqa* for the *shoeil* and no longer *lifnim mishuras hadin*.
Sincerest condolences to R'Micha and family. *HaMaqom y'nacheim eschem
b'soch sh'ar aveilei Tziyon viYrushalayim*.
All the best from
