The prohibition of Molid is general in nature and has many applications. <ref> '''Background''' <br />
The gemara [[Shabbat]] 51b writes that one may not crush now but may place it into a glass on [[Shabbat]]. There are a few different approaches to why it would be prohibited to crush snow:
 
# Rashba there explains that the prohibition is based on the prohibition of [[sechita]] ([[squeezing]]), that just as it is forbidden to squeeze fruit it is forbidden to squeeze ice.
# Rashi 51b “kdei” writes that you are being “molid” on [[Shabbat]], and it is like a melacha. The Rosh 4:13 understands the sefer hateruma 234-235 as saying a similar idea
# The aforementioned Rashba quotes the sefer hateruma 234-235 understands that the problem is based on the [[muktzeh]] category of nolad. Since the result will be [[muktzeh]] since it is a newly created item, it would be prohibited. </ref>
