May one give food to a non-Jew in one's courtyard on Shabbat, knowing he may carry it out to reshut harabim?
Synopsis
One may place food before a non-Jew in the courtyard to eat there. If he takes it and leaves, we are not concerned. But if it is known he will carry it out, or if he stands outside and reaches in, it is forbidden even if the items belong to the non-Jew.
