Question
Hello,I would like to know if I am allowed to eat something baked in an oven lit by a Jew who does not observe Shabbat.
Answer
Hello,
A Jew who publicly desecrates Shabbat is considered like a non-Jew regarding the prohibition of 'Bishul Akum' (cooking by non-Jews).
Therefore, if this person lit the fire and also placed the food in the oven, the food is forbidden to eat.
If this person lit the fire, and a Shabbat-observant Jew placed the food in the oven, the food is kosher from the outset.
If a Shabbat-observant Jew lit the fire, and then a Shabbat-desecrating Jew placed the food in the oven, according to the Beit Yosef, it is forbidden to eat. According to Ashkenazi custom, it is permitted.
