Work of a Non-Jew During Chol Hamoed
Question
I have a non-Jewish worker who needs to work elsewhere after the holiday. He is very efficient, and I don't want to lose him. Is it permissible for me to have him tile my shop during Chol Hamoed when I am not present? And is there no sign of blessing in this?
Answer
It is forbidden to give him work in your home or shop. However, it is permissible to give him work that is not directly related to the residence itself.
