הלכה על פסחים 49:10
Sefer HaChinukh
That which we said, the trappings of idolatry, the matter is to say, anything that is prohibited for us from any prohibition specific to idolatry. And [it is] similar to that which they, may their memory be blessed, said in [Pesachim 25a], "One who is in peril may be healed by anything except for asheirah (a tree-god) wood." And they said about this in Yerushalmi Shabbat 14:4 [that] it is not only if the physician said, "Bring me leaves of asheirah x," that he would [then] seem like he concedes to it. Rather even if he just said to him, "Bring me leaves of tree x," and he went and he only found [them] on the asheirah, he should be killed and not transgress. And even though when he is healed with the wood of the asheirah, it is not truly idolatry - for he did not worship it - nonetheless he benefited from it, and there is in it the matter of the negative commandment of "Nothing is to cling to your hand from the anathema" (Deuteronomy 13:18), which is a negative commandment specific to idolatry. But the many prohibitions of idolatry that exist, which we learn from the negative commandment of "in front of the blind you shall not place a stumbling block" (Leviticus 19:14), are not included in trappings of idolatry to be killed for them - since the negative commandment of "in front of the blind," is not specific to idolatry itself, as it is also with all of the [other] commandments.
