May a Jew use or wear a garment completed by a non-Jew on Shabbat, when katzatz (a fixed price) was set?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules that when katzatz was fixed, the Jew may wear or use the item on Shabbat itself, since the non-Jew worked on his own account. The Rema and later Ashkenazic authorities are more stringent, requiring waiting after Shabbat if it is known the non-Jew completed the work on Shabbat.
