Can I ask a spectator to stay where their shadow is?

A spectator is standing so that their shadow falls exactly on your ball. You are happy with that. May you ask them to stay where they are until you have played?

Answer

Yes, because you did not deliberately position them there

You must not deliberately position anyone to shade your ball from the sun. But if someone is already standing there, you may ask them to stay where they are or to move away.
