#It is permitted to move a [[Muktzeh]] item with one’s body<ref>The Mishnah ([[Shabbat]] 141a) states that one may push [[Muktzeh]] straw off of his bed with his body but not with his hands. The Gemara explains that this is based on the principle that indirect movement of [[Muktzeh]] is permitted. Based on the distinction of Tosfot (see note 1), Rabbeinu Yonah (cited by the Rosh 3:19) asks why indirect movement of [[Muktzeh]] is permitted if one’s intent is to move the [[Muktzeh]] item. The Rosh answers that moving [[Muktzeh]] with one’s body is permitted even if one’s intent is to move [[Muktzeh]], whereas direct movement of a non-[[Muktzeh]] item which in turn moves a [[Muktzeh]] item is permitted only if one’s intent is for the non-[[Muktzeh]] item. Tur and S”A 311:8 codify this as halacha. | #It is permitted to move a [[Muktzeh]] item with one’s body<ref>The Mishnah ([[Shabbat]] 141a) states that one may push [[Muktzeh]] straw off of his bed with his body but not with his hands.

*The Mishna Brurah 311:30 writes that it is permitted to move [[Muktzeh]] with any part of one’s body other than his hands. For example, in 308:13 and 30 he writes that one may move [[Muktzeh]] with one’s foot. Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchata 22:36 agrees. See Chazon Ish 47:12, who argues that the Rosh merely meant that one may lie down on straw even if it moves since its not evident that one is moving [[Muktzeh]]. One may not, however, move [[Muktzeh]] with one’s body if his primary intent is to move [[Muktzeh]]. See Rabbi Mordechai Willig (Am Mordechai p. 105-6) who connects this to the above dispute.</ref> as long as that isn't the normal way to move the muktzeh.<ref>Menuchat Ahava 1:13:9. For example, Menuchat Ahava 1:13:12 writes that if a soccer ball is muktzeh it is forbidden to kick it since that is the normal way to move it during the week. See however, Yalkut Yosef Shabbat v. 2 5771 p. 434 who seems to disagree and doesn't think it is an issue of carrying muktzeh in your pocket even though it is normal since it is tiltul bgufo.</ref> | *The Mishna Brurah 311:30 writes that it is permitted to move [[Muktzeh]] with any part of one’s body other than his hands.

#It’s permissible to blow on [[Muktzeh]] to make it move even if it is for the protection of the muktzeh item.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 308:43 and Rama 308:3 consider blowing on [[Muktzeh]] as tiltul bgufo and is permitted even if it is for the protection of the muktzeh. Rabbi Akiva Eiger on Rama 308:3 points out that the Maharil 200 holds that moving muktzeh with one's body is like indirect movement which can be moved only for a permissible purpose. But he concludes that we hold like the Rosh that it is permitted even for the muktzeh itself. Similarly see Mishna Brurah 309:15 who cites a similar approach of the Maharil.</ref> | #It’s permissible to blow on [[Muktzeh]] to make it move even if it is for the protection of the muktzeh item.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 308:43 and Rama 308:3 consider blowing on [[Muktzeh]] as tiltul bgufo and is permitted even if it is for the protection of the muktzeh.
