Gentile Shabbos guests
Question: [Wednesday 19th Iyar 5780]
Is it forbidden for a gentile to join the day meal or night meal on Shabbos based on Orach Chaim 167:20?
Answer:
It is permitted to have a gentile guest for the Shabbos day or night meal, and this matter is only restricted on Yom Tov. Nonetheless, as you note from 167:20, one should not give him from the Challah of Lechem Mishneh and must make sure to have only Mevushal wine on the table.
