==Foods== | |||
# Any food that’s edible for animals isn’t Muktzeh as long as there are such animals around, however, if it’s not eaten by a certain animal which aren’t common it’s Muktzeh unless one owns such an animal. <Ref>S”A 308:29 </ref> | |||
# Soft bones, peels, or crumbs are not Muktzeh because they are edible for animals. <ref>S”A 308:27 </ref> | |||
# However, egg shells, nut shells, or hard bones (from which all the meat was removed) which aren’t edible for animals may not be moved directly. If there’s a permissible item also on the plate, one may move the entire plate (but not touch the actual shells). If there’s a need for the place of the plate one may move the entire plate <ref>S”A 308:27, Mishna Brurah 308:113, 114 </ref> If the above doesn’t apply then one should | |||
* shake it off the plate | |||
* use a utensil to knock it off | |||
* or if the above options are difficult place a permissible item on the plate and then move the entire plate. <Ref> S”A 308:27, Mishna Brurah 308:115, 116 </ref> | |||
# Some say that raw meat is Muktzeh and some say it’s not Muktzeh. | |||
# While salted or smoked fish that’s edible isn’t Muktzeh, while raw fish is Muktzeh <Ref>S”A 308:32 writes that salted fish isn’t Muktzeh while raw fish is. Mishna Brurah 308:126 writes that herring or other fish could be eaten (with difficulty) if salted or smoked aren’t Muktzeh. </ref> even if it’s edible for animals. <Ref>Mishna Brurah 308:126 explains that a food which is meant to be eaten by people but is inedible is Muktzeh even if it’s edible to animals. </ref> | |||
==Animals== | |||
# Animals are Muktzeh and one shouldn’t grab them directly even if there’s a loss involved (such as if the animals are going to break something). <Ref>S”A 308:39, Mishna Brurah 308:146 </ref> | |||
# If the animal needs to be walked one may do so without grabbing the animal directly except for chickens which usually flap their wings when held. <Ref>S”A 308:40, Mishna Brurah 308:151 explains that because of Tzaar Baalei Chaim (pain of a living creature) it’s permissible to move a Muktzeh item partially. </ref> | |||
# If there’s a need one may push animal from behind. <Ref>Mishna Brurah 308:152 </ref> | |||
==Forbidden objects== | |||
# Shanez clothing are Muktzah Machmat Gufo. <Ref> S”A 307:47 quotes two opinions and sides with those who are lenient, however, Mishna Brurah 308:161 holds like the strict opinion. </ref> However Shanez clothes of a non-Jew aren’t Muktzeh unless the non-Jew gives a Jew a collateral of Shanez clothes. <Ref>Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 20:37 based on S”A HaRav writes that Shanez of a non-Jew isn’t muktzah. However, Mishna Brurah 308:161 (quoted in Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata’s footnote there) writes that a non-goy who gives a Jew a collateral of Shanez clothes is Muktzeh. Muktzah: A Practial Guide (by Rabbi Simcha Bunim Cohen; pg 107) rules that Shaatnez clothes are Muktzah Machmat Gufo. </ref> | |||

# Items which are not normally used for a permissible purpose such as rock <ref> S”A 308:22 writes that there’s a distinction whether the object is normally used for a permissible purpose or not. This is also evident in Mishna Brurah 308:87 and 92. </ref> one needs to make a permanent designation or a physical action to fix it for that permissible use (like organizing rocks in order to sit on). <Ref>S”A 308:21 writes that rocks which are Muktzeh Machmat Gufo a designation doesn’t work to make it non-Muktzeh rather an action is needed such as organizing the rocks. Rama 308:21 writes that rocks only need a designation. Mishna Brurah 308:90 writes the consensus of the achronim is to hold like S”A. </ref> | # Items which are not normally used for a permissible purpose such as rock <ref> S”A 308:22 writes that there’s a distinction whether the object is normally used for a permissible purpose or not.
