SUMMARY

1. It is forbidden to engage in commerce with a Yisrael Mumar when he is on the way to, or on the way back from, a gathering of an Avodah Zarah.
 
2. It is permitted to engage in commerce with a Nochri who is the way to, or on the way back from, a market place of an Avodah Zarah.
 
3. It is permitted to engage in commerce with a Yisrael who is on his way to a market place of an Avodah Zarah. If he is on his way back, it is forbidden.
 
4. It is forbidden to derive benefit from the wine of a Yisrael which is stored in the jug or flask of a Nochri, according to Rebbi Meir. The Chachamim disagree.
 
5. New leather flasks of a Nochri may be used for storing wine.
 
6. An old leather flask of a Nochri or a new flask which was coated with pitch may not be used for storing wine.
 
7. Rav Papa maintains that if a Nochri is coating a flask with pitch, and a Yisrael is pouring wine into the pitch, it is permitted to use the flask if another Yisrael is watching.
 
8. Leather flasks or earthenware utensils which were used by a Nochri to store wine may be used after they are filled with water and refilled every day for three days.
 
9. Earthenware utensils which were used by a Nochri to store wine may be used if they are filled with fish brine.
 
10. Earthenware utensils which were used by a Nochri to store wine may be used if they are placed in a furnace until the pitch softens.
 
11. Utensils which are not used for long-term storage of wine may be used after they are rinsed with water, if a Nochri used the utensil.
 
12. Earthenware utensils which are coated with lead are permitted if they are white or black, even if they were used by a Nochri. They are forbidden if they are green.

A BIT MORE

1. A Yisrael Mumar will not have a change of heart. Therefore, even when he is on his way there, one is forbidden to engage in commerce with him.
 
2. We may sell him something even if he is on his way back, because we do not assume that the money in his hands is from the Avodah Zarah. The market place is not only for the Avodah Zarah. We assume he sold a shirt or a donkey, and not an idol, to the Avodah Zarah.
 
3. If he is on the way back, we may not sell him anything because of the concern that he sold an idol to an Avodah Zarah. The money in his hand is money of an Avodah Zarah. If he was selling a shirt or a donkey, he would have sold it here and not at the market of an Avodah Zarah.
 
4. According to the Chachamim, one is forbidden to drink from the wine, but permitted to derive benefit from the wine.
 
5. Even if the Nochri stored wine in the flask for a short time, it would not have been absorbed by the leather.
 
6. Since wine was stored for a long time in an old flask, it absorbed the wine. A flask which was coated with pitch is forbidden even if it is new. The pitch absorbs wine immediately.
 
7. Since the Yisrael who is pouring the wine is busy preparing the flask for use, it is forbidden unless another Yisrael is watching. Perhaps the Nochri will pour the wine to an Avodah Zarah without the Yisrael realizing it.
 
8. Even if the Nochri stored wine in them for a long time, a Yisrael is permitted to store wine in them after he fills them with water and refills them every day for three days.
 
9. The strength of the fish brine burns out the wine which was absorbed in the utensils.
 
10. The fire of the furnace burns out the wine which was absorbed in the utensils.
 
11. Since the wine is not stored in the utensils for a long period, they do not absorb any wine.
 
12. Green it is very absorbent. It absorbed the wine of the Nochri. Earthenware which has cracks in it is forbidden even if it is white or black.
