declarer is playing to make a contract in spades. about halfway thru
the hand he leads a spade from the board. then he discards a losing
heart and the dummy asks, "no spades partner?"
player says he has a spade and corrects his play taking back the heart
and playing a trump spade from his hand.
is this legal? can dummy do this? is there a penalty?

To amplify this a bit, "qualified" means dummy loses those rights if he

does any of several undesirable things, all involving looking at another
player's hand or cards therein. Dummy also has some "absolute" rights
that cannot be taken away. These are all covered in Laws 42 and 43, but
have a glance at 41 and 44 while you're looking.

Perfectly legal.
Some countries even allow defenders to ask each other.

I guess you missed the other thread where he asked about that. Not sure
why he couldn't ask them both in the same place, or maybe try to look it
up himself in the Laws.

More correctly, some countries _disallow_ defenders asking each other. The law (61B3) says: "Defenders may ask declarer and, unless prohibited by the Regulating Authority, may ask one another..."

Apparently the "disallow" countries include Germany and maybe a few
other European countries. I'm told Britain, Ireland, and Japan allow
defenders to ask each other. I _think_ Belgium and Holland also allow
it, but I may have that wrong. As noted, US, Canada, and Mexico allow
it. I presume Bermuda does too for domestic competition, but that
wouldn't necessarily apply when it competes internationally.
I'd be curious to know about other countries, especially Australia and
countries in Central and South America.
