**ויהודי**הדר ביישוב לבדו אסור לתן מעות לגוי להשכיר לו פועלים לבנות לו בית בשבת ובימים טובים אע"ג דליכא מתא דמקרב' להתם:

**Rabbi Meir of Rothenburg, his life and his works, by Irving A. Agus. Philadelphia, 1947:**
*Q*. Is a Jew, who lives alone among Gentiles, permitted to ask his Gentile friend to hire laborers to do his work on the Sabbath?
*A*. He is not permitted to do so lest the members of his family or occasional Jewish guests, think that he hired the laborers himself.
