The Sages added a protective fence by prohibiting deriving benefit from <em>melakha<\/em> done on Shabbat (<em>ma\u2019aseh Shabbat<\/em>), as it is improper to benefit on Shabbat from Shabbat desecration. Whether the <em>melakha<\/em> was done knowingly (<em>be<\/em>&#8211;<em>mezid<\/em>) or unknowingly (<em>be-shogeg<\/em>), it is forbidden for any Jew to benefit from the <em>melakha<\/em> for the rest of that Shabbat. Some maintain that if the <em>melakha <\/em>was done <em>be-shogeg<\/em>, one may benefit from it. Some rely on this opinion under pressing circumstances (as explained in the next section). For our purposes, <em>shogeg<\/em> means that one was aware of his actions but forgot that it was Shabbat or was unaware that this act is a forbidden <em>melakha <\/em>on Shabbat; we have translated it, here and elsewhere, as \u201cunknowing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After Shabbat, anyone may benefit from a <em>melakha<\/em> that was done on Shabbat except for the perpetrator, if he did it <em>be-mezid<\/em>, who may never benefit from it (SA 318:1, as explained in section 7 below).<\/p>\n<p>If a small child performed a <em>melakha<\/em> on Shabbat on behalf of an adult, during Shabbat no one may benefit from it. On Saturday night, anyone may benefit once enough time has passed that the <em>melakha<\/em> could have been completed after Shabbat. If the child did the <em>melakha<\/em> for his own sake, an adult may benefit from it on Shabbat (above, 24:4).<\/p>\n<p>If a non-Jew did <em>melakha<\/em> on Shabbat for a Jew, no Jew may benefit from it until enough time has elapsed after Shabbat for the <em>melakha<\/em> to have been completed, so that no one benefits from <em>melakha<\/em> done on Shabbat and no one profits from work done by a non-Jew on Shabbat (above, ch. 25 n. 2). If a non-Jew did a <em>melakha<\/em> for himself, a Jew may benefit from it on Shabbat (above, 25:2). In some cases, one may hint to a non-Jew to do <em>melakha<\/em> on Shabbat (above 25:3). For the sake of a mitzva, or to avoid great loss or suffering, one may ask a non-Jew to do a rabbinically prohibited <em>melakha<\/em> (25:4).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Torah commands us to refrain from melakha on Shabbat.
