There is a rashi in the gemara pesachim which says every town should have a dog. Must be that it is not only permissible but obligated.

If Halacha and Mesorah covered every detail there would be nothing to learn or interpret. The logic that just because it is not a codified issur means something is mutar is nonsensical. I think it is apikorus to not to try to figure out what chazal would want us to do about the goy.

Just because there is no explicit issur does not make something mutar. Halacha cannot cover every single possible situation and the misha berura as such does not have a section dealing with goyim in the sukkah. That is what needs to be interpreted.

What if the goy is an idolator? I know everybody is going to want to bring Avraham Avienu and inviting the melachem into his home and this and that…fine. But should I have the goy clean his feet before coming into the sukkah then or have him wash in another way? Even if you want to say, and we’ll say like a previous poster who says the sukkah cannot become spiritually contaminated, it still seems like the right thing to do. I understand that halacha is halacha and nowehere does it say there is an issur to bring a goy into a sukkah but that does not mean it is mutar!

Also, I am going to be having guests over and I do not to exclude the goy. The question is whether the possible assur of having a goy in a sukkah outweighs are obligation to be a shining light onto the world. Also, is it possible for the goy the render the sukkah tumah or give it a tzaris affliction?
