Teshuvot Maharam
Q. A teacher rendered a decision permitting Jews to instruct a Gentile on the Sabbath to go outside of the city limits in order to be ready to assist relatives of a deceased in their burial operations.
A. The decision of the teacher is incorrect, for ordinarily whatever a Jew is not allowed to do on the Sabbath, he is not permitted to tell a Gentile to do.
This Responsum is addressed to R. Nathan, an uncle of R. Meir. But according to Cr. 20, it was sent to R. Hezekiah of Merseburg.
SOURCES: Cr. 20; Pr. 637; Wertheimer 15; Mord. Shabb. 314; Hag. Maim., Shabbat 6, 9.
