| Muktzeh
| | ==Categories and Subcategories of Muktzeh== |
| ==Categories of Muktzeh== | | There are four primary categories of muktzah, and two secondary categories. These categories fit into two general classes: |
| # There’s two general categories of Muktzeh 1)severe Muktzeh and 2)light Muktzeh. In general, items that never used on Shabbat are considered severe Muktzeh, while items that are sometimes used as considered light Muktzeh (see further). <Ref> The Weekly Halacha Discussion (vol 2 pg 335) breaks up Muktzeh into these two general categories. </ref>
| | #Items which are useless (absolute Muktzeh) |
| | #Items that are used for a prohibited purpose (partial Muktzeh) |
| | Items in the first category are generally useless and may not be used at all on Shabbat. That being the case, items that are ''absolutely Muktzeh'' are prohibited from being moved for any purpose. On the other hand, items which are used on occasion are in the second category. Items that are partially Muktzeh may be moved if the item itself is needed or its place is needed. <Ref> The Weekly Halacha Discussion (vol 2 pg 335) breaks up Muktzeh into two general categories, severe Muktzeh and light Muktzeh. Rav Hershel Schachter in a [http://www.yutorah.org/lectures/lecture.cfm/788481/Rabbi_Hershel_Schachter/Hilchos_Muktze shiur on yutorah.org entitled "Hilchos Muktze" (min 16-9)] explained that there's two categories within Muktzeh. One is a set of items that are completely Muktzeh (Muktzeh Gamur) and one is a set of items that may not be moved because of a prohibited use (Isur Tiltul). </ref> |

| | '''Basic Principals of Muktzeh''' |
| | * [[General laws of Muktzeh]] |
|
| |
|
| ==Non-Muktzeh==
| | '''Primary Categories of Muktzeh''' |
| ===Definition===
| | * [[Muktzeh Machmat Chisaron Kis]] ([[Delicate items]]) |
| # Certain items that Chazal excluded from the laws of Muktzeh altogether are non-Muktzeh. <Ref> see further; Tiltulei Shabbat (pg 19) </ref>
| | * [[Muktzeh Machmat Gufo]] ([[Useless Items]]) |
| ===Rules===
| | * [[Kli SheMelachto LeIsser]] ([[Partially Muktzeh items]]) |
| # It’s permissible to move or touch a non-Muktzeh item even for no purpose at all. <Ref>S”A 308:4 rules that holy books and food may be moved for no purpose at all as they weren’t included in the gezerah of Muktzeh at all. Tiltulei Shabbat (pg 18) </ref>
| | ** Included in this is [[Shivrei Kelim]] ([[Broken or one time use items]]) |
| ==Examples===
| | * [[Bosis]] ([[A Base To Hold Muktzeh]]) |
| * Food <ref> S”A 308:4 </ref> | |
| * Food Utensils <ref> Mishna Brurah 308:23 rules that food utensils may be moved even for no purpose at all even though some authorities hold that food utensils are considered Kli Sh’Melachto LeHeter and not non-Muktzeh. So rules Tiltulei Shabbat (pg 19) (with the language of many authorities versus some authorities) </ref>
| |
| * Sefarim (holy books which are permissible to read) <ref> S”A 308:4 writes that Kitvei Kodesh, holy books, are non-Muktzeh. Mishna Brurah 308:22 adds that the Pri Megadim and Eliyah Rabba consider a megillah in this category even though the Pri Chadash 688:6 considers it Muktzeh (See Sharei Teshuva 308:2). So rules the Tiltulei Shabbat (pg 32) leniently. </ref> | |
| * Clothing that will be used on Shabbat <ref> Shalmei Yehuda 4:1 writes that clothing that will be used on Shabbat is considered non-Muktzeh according to all, while clothing that won’t be used on Shabbat, some consider it non-Muktzeh while others consider it Kli Sh’Melachto LeHeter. </ref> | |
|
| |
|
| | '''Secondary Categories of Muktzeh''' |
| | * [[Nolad]] ([[Items That Came into Existence on Shabbat]]) |
| | * [[Muktzeh Machmat Mitzvato]] ([[Items Designated for a Mitzvah]]) |
|
| |
|
| ==Kli Sh’Melachto LeHeter==
| | '''Disputed Categories of Muktzeh''' |
| ===Definition===
| | * [[Kli SheKol Melachto LeIssur]] ([[Items Used Entirely for a Prohibited Activity]]) |
| # An item that’s primarily used for permitted purposes is called Kli Sh’Melachto LeHeter. <Ref> see further; Tiltulei Shabbat (pg 18) </ref>
| | * [[Balls and games]] |
| ===Rules===
| |
| # It’s permissible to move or touch a Kli Sh’Melachto LeHeter item for any purpose. However, even Kli Sh’Melachto LeHeter may not be moved for no purpose at all. <Ref>S”A 308:4 rules that a Kli Sh’Melachto LeHeter may be moved even for purposes that serve the vessel itself such as to prevent it from breaking or being stolen. Tiltulei Shabbat (pg 18) explains that this type of purposes includes any purpose for the movement (as is evident by the inverse case). However, concludes S”A, it’s forbidden to move Kli Sh’Melachto LeHeter for no purpose. </ref>
| |
| # It’s permissible to move a Kli Sh’Melachto LeHeter for purposes that serve the vessel itself such as prevent it from breaking or being stolen. <Ref> S”A 308:4 </ref>
| |
| # It’s forbidden to move a Kli Sh’Melachto LeHeter without any intent as that’s considered moving it for no purpose. <Ref> Aruch HaShulchan 308:15 quoted in Tiltulei Shabbat (pg 18) </ref>
| |
| # It’s forbidden to move a Kli Sh’Melachto LeHeter for a need for after Shabbat as that’s considered moving it for no purpose (for Shabbat) <ref> Mishna Brurah 308:21 </ref>

| |
| * broom which have bristles that do not break<ref> Sefer Tiltulei Shabbat (pg 29) considers brooms which have bristles that do not break to be Kli Sh’Melachto LeHeter since it’s permitted to broom a tiled floor where most of the homes of the city have tiled floors (Biur Halacha 337:2 D”H VeYesh; Sefer Hilchot Shabbat (vol 2 pg 51, Choresh note 115, by Rabbi Eider) in name of Rabbi Moshe Feinstein) </ref>

| # The following items are included in the light Muktzeh category:
| |
| * items that are primarily used for prohibited activities on Shabbat but have at least one permitted use on Shabbat
| |
| * items that are designated for a mitzvah
| |
| ===Rules===
| |
| # An item of Kli Sh’Melachto LeIssur status may be moved either
| |
| ## to be used for its permitted use or
| |
| ## because its space is needed.
| |
| # Many authorities hold that a Kli Sh’Melachto LeIssur item shouldn’t be used if there’s a permitted item available that serves the same function. <Ref> Igrot Moshe O”C 5:21(12) explaining Mishna Brurah 308:12 </ref>
| |
| # It’s forbidden to move a Kli Sh’Melachto LeIssur for the purposes of the object itself such as to prevent it from getting broken or being stolen. <Ref> S”A 308:3 </ref>
| |
| # Many authorities hold that moving a Kli Sh’Melachto LeIssur to clean up clutter isn’t considered moving an item because its space is needed and therefore it’s forbidden to move a Kli Sh’Melachto LeIssur item just to declutter. <Ref> Sh”t Igrot Moshe O”C 5:22-31, Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 20:10, Rav Elyashiv in Shalmei Yehuda (pg 11), Sh”t Az Nidabru all hold that moving an item to clean up clutter isn’t considered moving an item because its space is needed. However, the Machazeh Eliyahu 46 is lenient. <ref/>

| |
| * buttons that fell off clothes <ref> Mishna Brurah 308:35 seems to hold that buttons are non-Muktzeh, while Sh”t Igrot Moshe 5:22(20) holds it’s severe Muktzeh. Rav Shlomo Zalman and Rav Elyashiv in Shalmei Yehuda (pg 80) hold it’s non-Muktzeh but say it’s proper to be strict in this case. </ref>
| |
| * empty cooking pots that are sometimes used for serving food, fruit, or water <ref>
| |
| The Rosh (in his teshuvot, quoted by Bet Yosef 308:4) writes that a grinder may be moved if you place any permissible item (like bread) on the grinder and the same is true of a pot. However, the Rashba (Shabbat 123a) argues that the grinder may only be moved if there’s some of the food that’s normally put in the grinder such as garlic and so too cooked food in a pot. S”A 308:4 seems to rule like the Rosh, however, many achronim (Mishna Brurah 308:26) argue that one should be strict like the Rashba. From both of the above opinions, many achronim argue that an empty pot is Kli Sh’Melachto LeIssur even if the pot is sometimes used to serve the food but primarily is used to cook. [The Gedolot Elisha (308:19) rejects this proof by explaining that really the grinder is Muktzeh as it’s only purpose is a prohibited activity and so it’s only permitted if it has a piece of the food that’s normally in it such as garlic. However, a pot has both a prohibited (cooking) and permitted (serving) purpose. The comparison of the above Rishonim from the grinder to the pot was only to explain what’s normally associated with each vessel.] These achronim (who are strict regarding an empty pot) include: Pri Megadim (M”Z beginning of 308), Ashel Avraham 308:9, 279:2, Mishna Brurah 308:20, 26, Chazon Ish 47:11, Derech HaChaim (Muktzeh#13; Rabbi Yacov MeLisa, author of the Netivot), Sefer Tiltulei Shabbat (pg 46), Rabbi Binyamin Zilber (Sh”t Az Nidabru 9:20, pg 58), and Shalmei Yehuda (pg 98). <br></br> On the other hand, some authorities are lenient including the Chaye Adam 66:3, Kitzur S”A 88:8, and Rav Elyashiv in Shalmei Yehuda (pg 98). Gedolot Elisha (308:19) agrees that many are strict in this regard and consider it a Kli Sh’Melachto LeIssur but concludes that the minhag of Baghdad is to be lenient to treat a empty pot as a Kli Sh’Melachto LeHeter and there is what to rely on. So writes Yalkut Yosef (Kitzur S”A 308:105). </ref>
| |
| * fresh snow <ref> Rav Elyashiv in Shalmei Yehuda (pg 203) and Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata consider snow to be non-Muktzeh, while Sh”t Igrot Moshe 5:22(37) and Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach in Sefer Tiltulei Shabbat (pg 13) consider it severe Muktzeh. </ref>
| |
| * Jigsaw puzzles <ref> Sefer Tiltulei Shabbat (pg 25 note 24) considers puzzles to be Keli SheMelachto LeIssur as it’s forbidden to put together a puzzle on Shabbat. So writes Shalmei Yehuda (pg 90) quoting Rav Elyashiv. [It’s clear to me, that the above poskim hold like those who forbid building puzzles [including Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 16:23]. However, according to those who are lenient regarding building puzzles [Sh”t Or Letzion 2:45:6, Sh”t Beer Moshe 6:26, Rav Pinchas Scheinberg (“Children in Halacha” pg 140), and Menuchat Ahava (vol 3, 22:16) under certain conditions (see there)], the jigsaw puzzle should only be Kli Sh’Melachto LeHeter.] </ref>
| |
| * lego (toy) <ref> Sefer Tiltulei Shabbat (pg 24) in name of Rav Moshe Feinstein writes that since they are designated for children’s use (if the child takes it himself) these are Kli Sh’Melachto LeHeter, and Shalmei Yehuda (pg 90) quotes Rav Elyashiv saying that since primarily the toys are used for building which is forbidden but still it could be given to a child to play with (without putting them together) it’s considered Keli SheMelachato LeIssur. </ref>

| ==Big differences between Sephardim and Ashkenazim==
| |
| * a play-ball according to Sephardim is Muktzeh, while Ashkenazim hold it’s Kli Sh’Melachto LeHeter<ref> Even though Shevut Yitzchak (pg 89) quotes Rav Elyashiv who says that S”A would agree that the modern play-ball is non-Muktzeh, nonetheless, Yalkut Yosef (Kitzur S”A 308:84) says one should follow S”A 308:45 that considers all balls to be Muktzeh. Therefore, for Ashkenazim the Rama 308:45 certainly considers balls to be non-Muktzeh. So holds Rav Moshe Feinstein quoted by Sefer Tiltulei Shabbat (pg 22 note 16) and Rav Elyashiv in Shalmei Yehuda (pg 91). </ref>
