ויהודיהדר 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. SOURCES: Cr. 42; Pr. 427; cf. Rashba I, 875.
