# It is forbidden to ask a non-Jew to do an activity on Shabbat that is for after Shabbat even it is with non-melacha activities since a Jew that would certainly be forbidden to do so as it is preparing (hachana) for after Shabbat. For example, one may not ask a non-Jew to clean dishes on Shabbat for after Shabbat.<ref>Melachim Emuncha (Rabbi Zilberstein, 1:11, p. 40) concludes with many proofs that it is forbidden to do hachana through amirah lenochri. The 39 Melachos (Rabbi Ribiat, v. 1 fnt. 314) discusses if the entire concept of amirah lenochri only applies to melachot and not to the neglect of positive mitzvot of Shabbat. His conclusion is unclear and seems to be strict. [www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=21547&st=&pgnum=205 Mechezeh Eliyahu 63:35 p. 180] cites the Magen Avraham 321:7 who implies clearly that there is amirah lenochri for hachana, while the Eliyah Rabba 252:12 clearly seems to permit it, he also cites a Pri Megadim who seems to be in doubt on the matter, however, his conclusion is that it is forbidden based on numerous Mishna Brurah's unless there is a financial loss.</ref>

## Practically, it is forbidden to ask a non-Jewish custodian in shul to clean up from Seudat Shelishit while it is still Shabbat since it is preparing. Similarly, it is forbidden to ask a non-Jewish caterer clean up from an event on Shabbat since it is preparing for after Shabbat. However, if they prefer to do the cleanup on Shabbat as opposed to afterwards it is permitted to let them do so.<ref>[http://www.yutorah.org/sidebar/lecture.cfm/874130/rabbi-yaakov-b-neuburger/amira-lnachri-and-pikuach-nefesh-shiur-6/ Rabbi Neuberger in Amirah Lnachri Shiur 6 (min 32-6)] says that generally it is forbidden because of amirah lenochri on hachana. However, if the non-Jew is working on his own schedule and he prefers to do the cleanup on Shabbat as opposed to after Shabbat that is permitted. Nonetheless, on a regular basis it is a problem to let the non-Jew clean up on Shabbat is a problem since it is a zilzul Shabbat.</ref>
