Question
Hello, Honorable Rabbi,
Is the rule that instructing a non-Jew on Shabbat, in a matter where there is a dispute among the poskim, is permitted, agreed upon by all? For example, can one ask a non-Jew to place and heat on Shabbat, on the hotplate, a liquid dish, regarding which there is a dispute among the poskim, since the poskim have disagreed whether there is cooking after cooking in a liquid?
With blessings and thanks.
Answer
Shalom Rav
The rule is correct; when there is a dispute among the poskim, it is permitted to instruct a non-Jew to do it.
