May a Jew instruct a non-Jew to bring beverages or other items through a karmelit or an area without an eruv on Shabbat?
Synopsis
The Rema records that the widespread custom is to instruct a non-Jew to bring beer or other Shabbat necessities through a karmelit. While it is proper to be strict, one should not rebuke those who are lenient for Shabbat needs or in pressing circumstances. Multiple views exist on the scope of this leniency.
