Opening Bottles by a Non-Jew
Question
Is it permissible to tell a non-Jew on Shabbat to open all types of bottles? And if it is permissible, is it preferable, or is it better to open them before Shabbat?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
Ideally, bottles should be opened before Shabbat. If they were not opened, it is permissible to tell a non-Jew to open them.
