Question
Is it permissible to allow a non-Jewish worker to wash dishes on Yom Tov?
Answer
Both on Yom Tov and on Shabbat, if she can wash the dishes in a manner that is permissible for a Jew, she may wash them. In such a case, even if she washes in a prohibited manner, there is no need to prevent her.
