Ice on Shabbat
Question
Hello. If a yid asked a non Jew to add water to the ice cube maker in error may other Jews use those ice cubes on Shabbas
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
Although it is best not to make ice on Shabbat, one is permitted to use the ice if it was made by a non-Jew. This halacha is only if it was a manual ice cube maker, however, if it was an electric one, it would be prohibited in all cases
