Is it permitted to lend a tool to a non-Jew on Shabbat itself, or close to nightfall on Friday when there is no time for the non-Jew to remove it from the Jew's doorway before Shabbat?
Synopsis
Lending is forbidden on Shabbat itself and on Friday close to nightfall when there is no time for the non-Jew to exit before Shabbat, because onlookers will think the Jew commanded the non-Jew to carry out on Shabbat.
