Question
Rabbi, is asking a non jewish person a favor to buy an item on Shabbat, while dealing with the money before or after Shabbat allowed?
Answer
Thank you for your question.
You can ask the non Jew to buy the item knowing that he'll probably buy it on Shabbat, but don't tell him to buy it on Shabbat. If he buys it on Shabbat that's his choice.
All the best
