When a Jew instructed a non-Jew to perform melacha on Shabbat, may the Jew benefit from the result after Shabbat?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules that the Jew may benefit after Shabbat but must wait the amount of time it would take to perform the work after Shabbat (b'khdei she'ya'asu). The Taz cites a dissenting view that prohibits benefit permanently as a penalty.
