[Avodah] Mi Sheberach for a Non-Jew

[Moshe Y. Gluck]

R' Elliot Shevin:
On a tangent to the subject of saying Mi Sheberach at a bris, are there 
any halachos regarding saying Mi Sheberach for a non-Jew?
 
Can anyone cite any authorities at all who specifically permit or prohibit
the practice, with their reasons?



See Chinuch 426. He is referring to an Oved AZ, so that would be a factor,
and he gives a few Heteirim even for that, such as Darkei Shalom and if
there is a To'eles. BTW, the minhag for the longest time was to make a Mi
Shebeirach for the Keisar YRH, who definitely was a non-Jew.
