# 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 whether the pages of the loose leaf are considered one unit depends on why you connected them. If it is one unit then the blank pages the entire binder isn't muktzeh. If you left in the pages together so that if that there's a mistake you can remove them then it isn't one unit. If you left the pages together so that it is easier to print them at the end then it is one unit.</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. 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> | # Blank pieces of paper are [[Muktzeh]].<ref> Magen Avraham 308:10 quotes the Shiltei Giborim 34a that blank paper is muktzeh machmat chisaron kis.
