Question
Every Thursday, a non-Jewish helper comes to my house to do laundry. The question is, should I tell her not to do laundry tomorrow, on Chol HaMoed? And what if she starts doing it on her own, do I need to tell her not to do it, or is the prohibition only on instructing a non-Jew to perform work for me? May the teacher guide us.
Answer
Shalom Rav
Any garment that a Jew is prohibited from laundering, it is prohibited to give her to launder.

Anything that is prohibited is also prohibited through a non-Jew
