Is kablanut (contracting — all profits to the Jew, non-Jew paid a fixed sum) permitted for a bathhouse, oven, or millstone?
Synopsis
All authorities agree that kablanut is forbidden for a bathhouse, oven, and millstone because the Jew directly profits from each Shabbat use — unlike a field where the work can be shifted to weekdays.
