==Ways of moving Muktzeh== | |||
# Moving a Muktzeh item with one’s body isn’t considered moving Muktzeh and is permissible. <Ref>S”A 311:8, Mishna Brurah 308:13, 30 write explicitly that moving foot is permissible. </ref> | |||
# It’s permissible to blow on Muktzeh to make it move if it’s for a permissible purpose. <Ref>S”A 308:43 and Rama 308:3 consider blowing on Muktzeh as indirect movement which can be moved for a permissible purpose. </ref> | |||
# It’s permissible to touch Muktzeh unless it’ll cause the object to shake. <Ref>S”A 308:42 and Rama 308:3 </ref> | |||
# Additionally, it’s permissible to cover a Muktzeh item with a vessel even if the vessel will touch the Muktzeh as long as placing the cover on the Muktzeh will not move it. <ref>Mishna Brurah 308:22 rules like the Gra unlike the Magan Avraham (which was brought as a dispute in Mishna Brurah 308:17). </ref> | |||
# It’s permissible to sit on Muktzeh unless there’s no need in which case one shouldn’t. <Ref>Mishna Brurah 308:82 </ref> | |||
==Permissible objects on Muktzeh== | |||
# It’s permissible to remove a permissible item that’s sitting on top of a Muktzeh item. <Ref>Rama 308:3 </ref> | |||
# Some say it’s permissible to move a Muktzeh item which has a permissible item on top of it from Ben HaShemashot, while others hold that one may only move a Muktzeh item if there’s the specifically designated item on or in that Muktzeh item, for example, one may move a cooking pot if there was food in it from before Shabbat. <Ref>S”A 308:5 writes that it’s permissible if there’s some permissible item on the Muktzeh from Ben HaShemashot. However, Mishna Brurah 308:26 writes that this is a dispute in the Rishonim and many achronim hold that the above leniency only applies to moving a corpse, yet all agree that one may only move Muktzeh if there was the designated permissible item on it from Ben HaShemashot such as food in a cooking pot. </ref> | |||
==Indirect moving== | |||
# It’s permissible to move Muktzeh in an indirect way if it’s for permissible purpose. <Ref>S”A 311:8, Mishna Brurah 308:19 and 115 </ref> | |||
==Muktzeh that’s in one’s hands== | |||
# If one has picked up a Kli Sh’Melachto LeIssur in one’s hands in a permissible fashion then it’s permissible to place it anywhere one likes. However, if one picked it up in a forbidden way or one has a severe Muktzeh item in one’s hand, then one should drop it. <ref>Mishna Brurah 308:13 </ref> | |||
# It’s permissible to ask a non-Jew to move a Kli Sh’Melachto LeIssur for any need even if it’s just to prevent the object from breaking or being stolen. <Ref>Mishna Brurah 308:15 </ref> | |||
