There are three reasons for the Rabbinic prohibition to instruct a non-Jew to perform work for a Jew on [[Shabbat]]: (1) asking a non-Jew to do work will cause a laxity in the observance of [[Shabbat]], (2) there’s a statement from the prophets which says “Daber Davar” meaning that one’s speech on [[Shabbat]] should be different from one’s speech on the weekdays, and (3) instructing a non-Jew is halachically considered a form of שליחות (agency) which attributes the actions of the messenger to the sender. <Ref>39 Melachos (Rabbi Ribiat; vol 1, pg 63-4) </ref> There’s two main sections of Amirah LeNochri, instructing a non-Jew and benefiting from the work of a non-Jew. <Ref>39 Melachos (Rabbi Ribiat; vol 1, pg 64), Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 30:1 </ref> See also [[Summary of Amirah LeNochri]]. | |||
