# 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 Magen Avraham (which was brought as a dispute in Mishna Brurah 308:17). </ref>

# It is permitted to touch [[Muktzeh]] if it does not move. Some say that one may not touch [[Muktzeh]] if one’s intent is to serve the [[Muktzeh]] item. <Ref> The Yerushalmi (Beitzah 5:1) states that one may place a vessel over an egg that was laid on [[Shabbat]] as long as the vessel doesn’t touch the egg. The [[Maggid]] Mishneh ([[Shabbat]] 25:23) wonders why there should be a prohibition even if the vessel touches the egg – after all, Chazal forbade only moving [[Muktzeh]]. He answers that since an egg is round, touching it automatically will make it move. The Trumat HaDeshen (67) based on Tosfot (see note 1) argues that covering [[Muktzeh]] for its protection is forbidden since one’s entire intent is for the [[Muktzeh]].
