Muktzeh on Yom Tov

  1. All the restrictions of Muktzeh of Shabbat apply to Yom Tov and furthermore Yom Tov has some added restrictions. [1]
  2. According to Sephardim, more categories of Muktzeh are forbidden on Yom Tov including:
    1. peels and shells that used to be edible for a person and now are edible for an animal (Nolad),
    2. something that is disgusting (Muktzeh Machmat Miyus),
    3. and something that is for sale (karchei d'zuzei).
  3. According to Ashkenazim only the category of Nolad applies to Yom Tov even though it doesn't apply to Shabbat. [2]
  4. If Yom Tov falls out on Shabbat, some say that it is treated stringently like a regular Yom Tov[3] while others say that it has the same restrictions as Shabbat and not the regular Yom Tov. [4]

Nolad

  1. On Shabbat if meat is removed from a bone the bones aren’t Muktzeh if they could be given to dogs (assuming that there are dogs in the city) to chew on. [5]However, on Yom Tov bones from which meat was removed on Yom Tov may not be moved as they are Muktzeh. [6]
  2. If the meat was removed from the bones before Yom Tov, the bones aren’t Muktzeh. [7]
  3. If a piece of the meat is attached to the meat the bones aren’t Muktzeh. [8]
  4. If the presence of the bones is disgusting (to the one who uses that room) one may remove them. [9]
  5. One should put the bones down on the plate where there is a little bit of food and then one would be able to move the bones. [10]

Regular Muktzeh

  1. Food which was designated to be sold, on Shabbat isn’t Muktzeh unless he’s concerned about using it for something other than for merchandise [11], however, on Yom Tov it is Muktzeh according to Sephardim. [12]
  2. According to Sephardim, in order to designate Muktzeh, such as fruit that was put in storage, prior to Yom Tov it is sufficient to designate it for use and it isn't necessary to write which items one is going to use.[13]

Ochel Nefesh

  1. For Ochel Nefesh (preparing food to be eaten on Yom Tov) purposes it’s permissible to move muktzeh. [14] For example, if there’s bones from which meat was separated on the table one may remove them in order to eat on the table. [15]
  2. Some say that this doesn’t apply to Muktzeh Machmat Chisaron Kis while others argue. [16]

Kli Sh’Melachto LeIssur

  1. One may move Kli Sh’Melachto LeIssur for a need of the object or for the place that it is taking up just like Shabbat. [17]
  2. Electronics are Kli Sh’Melachto LeIssur on Yom Tov. [18]

  1. ↑ Shulchan Aruch OC 495:4
  2. ↑ Shulchan Aruch OC 495:4 writes that muktzeh on Yom Tov is more strict than Shabbat. The Rama writes that some hold that Yom Tov is just like Shabbat. Mishna Brurah 495:16 and Nitai Gavriel (Yom Tov vol. 1 24:1-2) seem to hold that Ashkenazim hold like the Rama. The Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 99:1 writes the opinion of the Rama as primary but also quotes the opinion of Shulchan Aruch. Yalkut Yosef 495:4:1 holds like Shulchan Aruch.
