Birkei Yosef 337:1 quotes the Maharikash who disagrees and doesn't think that there is any melacha occurring when a bristle of a broom breaks. Bet Meir agrees. Mishna Brurah 337:14 opines that it is forbidden since it is considered [[soter]], breaking of a utensil. Even though it is in a destructive fashion, [[mekalkel]], it is still rabbinically forbidden.</ref> | ||

#Many poskim forbid using a carpet sweeper on Shabbat.<ref>Dor Hamelaktim v. 2 p. 1192 quoing Chelkat Yakov 160:3, Yesodei Yeshurun (39 Melachos v. 1 p. 161), Rav Moshe Feinstein (cited by Mechzeh Eliyahu 44), Rav Yakov Kamenetsky (Emet Lyakov 339), Beer Moshe 1:32, Minchat Yitzchak 3:50:5, 5:39, and others who forbid using a carpet sweeper on Shabbat. It is forbidden because (1) it is melabain in cleaning the carpet, (2) it might pull out strands of the carpet, (3) it is a weekday activity (uvda dchol). [https://dinonline.org/2021/03/04/can-one-use-a-carpet-sweeper-on-shabbos/ Dinonline.org] agrees it is forbidden.</ref> | |||
