* 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> | * The Mishna Brurah 311:30 writes that it is permitted to move [[Muktzeh]] with any part of one’s body other than his hands.
