# If a loose-leaf binder has pages with content together with blank pages, and the pages of content have some importance and one sometimes reads them, then, the binder is not [[Muktzeh]] and one may turn the blank pages in order to reach the pages of content. However, if the pages of content aren’t of importance and one doesn’t read them, then the binder as a whole is [[Muktzeh]] and should be moved. <Ref>Shemirat [[Shabbat]] KeHilchata 28:9. Sh"t Iggerot Moshe OC 5:21:8 writes that if the collection of blank pages is meant to be temporary, meaning the pages are removed fairly often, they should be removed before [[Shabbat]]. However, if they are meant to stay there with only occasional removal, then the binder is not [[muktzeh]] even with the blank pages. </ref> | # If a loose-leaf binder has pages with content together with blank pages, and the pages of content have some importance and one sometimes reads them, then, the binder is not [[Muktzeh]] and one may turn the blank pages in order to reach the pages of content.

# Blank pieces of paper are [[Muktzeh]]. <ref> Magen Avraham 308:10 quotes the Shiltei Giborim 34a that blank paper is muktzeh machmat chisaron kis. | # Blank pieces of paper are [[Muktzeh]]. <ref> Magen Avraham 308:10 quotes the Shiltei Giborim 34a that blank paper is muktzeh machmat chisaron kis. Igrot Moshe 4:72 agrees and applies it to his time as well saying that regular people don't throw out paper for no reason even though it is cheap. R' Nissim Karelitz agrees. However, Dirshu 308:6 cites Rav Elyashiv, Shevet Halevi, and Shemirat Shabbat Kehichata that blank paper is not muktzeh machmat chisaron kis today. Igrot Moshe 5:22:1 writes that blank paper today have no use at all and are muktzeh machmat gufo according to those who consider [[Kli Shekol Melachto Lisur]] to be muktzeh. Using them as a bookmark doesn't make them into a kli since it isn't a significant use.</ref> | ||
