May a Jew rent out his field to a non-Jew who will work it on Shabbat?
Synopsis
Renting a field to a non-Jew is permitted because it is customary to give fields on a percentage/arisut basis, so onlookers will assume the non-Jew is working for his own share of the profits rather than as the Jew's agent.
