When a Jew and non-Jew are partners and the Jew's oven is used by third parties who pay rent, and neither partner personally operates it — may the Jew accept Shabbat rental income?
Synopsis
When partners own an oven but neither personally operates it — third parties simply come, fire it, and pay rent — the Jew may accept Shabbat rental income, since neither partner is in an agent relationship with the other. The non-Jew acts for his own sake in allowing use of the oven.
