סימן פב סעיף ט

מֻתָּר לִתֵּן לִפְנֵי אֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי מְזוֹנוֹת בֶּחָצֵר אוֹ בַּבַּיִת, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁיּוֹדֵעַ שֶׁיּוֹצִיאֵם לַחוּץ, רַק שֶׁלֹּא יִתְּנֵם לְתוֹךְ יָדוֹ, דְּאִם כֵּן, הוּא עוֹשֶׂה אֶת הָעֲקִירָה. וְדַוְקָא כְּשֶׁיֵּשׁ לְהָאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי רְשׁוּת לְאָכְלָם שָׁם אִם יִרְצֶה. אֲבָל אִם אֵין לוֹ רְשׁוּת לְאָכְלָם שָׁם אוֹ שֶׁהֵם מְזוֹנוֹת מְרֻבִּים, שֶׁאִי אֶפְשָׁר שֶׁיֹּאכְלֵם שָׁם, וְכֵן שֶׁאָר חֲפָצִים שֶׁנִּכָּר הַדָּבָר שֶׁיּוֹצִיאֵם לַחוּץ, אָסוּר, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁנִּרְאֶה כְּנוֹתֵן לוֹ עַל מְנָת לְהוֹצִיא.

You are allowed to place food in front of a non-Jew in a yard or a house, even though you know that he will take it outside; as long as you do not put [the food] into his hand, for if you do, you are doing an akirah¹⁹Bach, Magein Avraham 325 Tosafos. The Eliyahu Rabbah argues that this applies only if the non-Jew is standing outside the yard and his hand is inside the yard (or house). But if he is standing inside the yard, then placing something into his hand is not an akirah. The Mishnah Berurah 325: 3 is meikil, (lenient) as is the Eliyahu Rabbah. dislodging; and you may place the food in front of him only if the non-Jew is allowed to eat [the food] there if he wants to, but if he is not allowed to eat it there, or you are giving him a large amount of food, so that he could not eat it all there; or if you give him other articles, when it is obvious that he will carry them outside, it is forbidden, because it appears as though you gave it to him with the aim of carrying it outside.²⁰If it is for a non-Jew who is ill or if the non-Jew is a violent person you may place it in front of him. [See Shulchan Aruch 325: 2, Ba’eir Heiteiv, Mishnah Berurah]

תנא דבי אליהו כל השונה הלכות בכל יום מובטח לו שהוא בן העולם הבא שנאמר הליכות עולם לו אל תקרי הליכות אלא הלכות (נדה ע"ג.)
