Amirah l'Nochri, Part 10

Hi,

We have been learning about Amirah l'Nochri, asking a non-Jew to perform work on Shabbat that a Jew may not do personally.

Although one may not hint to a non-Jew on Shabbat to perform biblically prohibited work on Shabbat (unless in an exceptional case, such as that of great pain or loss), one may hint to a non-Jew before Shabbat, so that he will understand what to do on Shabbat itself.

(Aruch haShulchan Orach Chaim 307:12-14)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
