# Some say that this leniency of permitting Amirah LeNochri for the mitzvah of a congregation only applies to a mitzvah that is to occur on [[Shabbat]], but not for a mitzvah that is to happen after [[Shabbat]]. Others disagree. <ref>Rav Hershel Schachter (Be'ikvei HaTzon p. 57) writes that there is room to debate whether the leniency of permitting Amirah LeNochri for the mitzvah of the multitude is a dispensation of the prohibition, in which case it stands to reason that it is only permitted if the mitzvah occurs on [[Shabbat]], or whether chazal never instituted Amirah LeNochri in such a case, in which case it would be permitted even for a mitzvah that is to happen after [[Shabbat]]. See the Machasit HaShekel 307:8 allows Amirah LeNochri on a derabbanan for a mitzvah of the multitude that is to occur tomorrow, yet, the Taz 655:2 seems to forbid it. Ketav Sofer OC 116 explains the Rambam Shabbat 6:10 as saying that it is permitted to ask a non-Jew to bring a shofar from a tree on Shabbat for Yom Tov on Sunday, however, he isn't certain whether it is permitted since Shulchan Aruch doesn't quote that Rambam. </ref> | # Some say that this leniency of permitting Amirah LeNochri for the mitzvah of a congregation only applies to a mitzvah that is to occur on [[Shabbat]], but not for a mitzvah that is to happen after [[Shabbat]].
