==Items that are entirely excluded from Muktzeh== | |||
===Definition=== | |||
# Certain items that Chazal excluded from the laws of [[Muktzeh]] altogether are non-[[Muktzeh]]. <Ref> see further; Tiltulei [[Shabbat]] (pg 19) </ref> | |||
===Rules=== | |||
# It’s permissible to move or touch a non-[[Muktzeh]] item even for no purpose at all. <Ref>S”A 308:4 rules that holy books and food may be moved for no purpose at all as they weren’t included in the gezerah of [[Muktzeh]] at all. Tiltulei [[Shabbat]] (pg 18) </ref> | |||
===Examples=== | |||
* Food and drinks <ref> S”A 308:4 </ref> | |||
* Food Utensils including dishes, glasses, and silverware <ref> Mishna Brurah 308:23 rules that food utensils may be moved even for no purpose at all even though some authorities hold that food utensils are considered Kli Sh’Melachto LeHeter and not non-[[Muktzeh]]. [Since the language of Mishna Brurah is the utensils that are on the table and used often aren’t [[Muktzeh]] seemingly including serving utensils.] This is also the opinion of Tiltulei [[Shabbat]] (pg 19) (with the language of many authorities versus some authorities). Menuchat Ahava 12:2 rules leniently but adds that it's preferable to be strict. </ref> | |||
* Sefarim (holy books which are permissible to read) <ref> S”A 308:4 writes that Kitvei Kodesh, holy books, are non-[[Muktzeh]]. Kitzur S"A 85:8 agrees. Mishna Brurah 308:22 adds that the Pri Megadim and Eliyah Rabba consider a [[megillah]] in this category even though the Pri Chadash 688:6 considers it [[Muktzeh]] (See Sharei Teshuva 308:2). The Tiltulei [[Shabbat]] (pg 32) also rules leniently. </ref> | |||
===Further examples=== | |||
# Some consider the following to be exceptions to [[muktzeh]] just like the above examples. | |||
* chairs that will be used for sitting <ref> Shalmei Yehuda 6:1 </ref> | |||
* clothing that will be used on [[Shabbat]] <ref> Shalmei Yehuda 4:1 writes that clothing that will be used on [[Shabbat]] is considered non-[[Muktzeh]] according to all, while clothing that won’t be used on [[Shabbat]], some consider it non-[[Muktzeh]] while others consider it Kli Sh’Melachto LeHeter. Shemirat [[Shabbat]] KeHilchata 20:83 rules like the Kesot HaShulchan (Badei HaShulchan 108:7) who holds that clothing are considered non-[[muktzah]] like food. Nachalat Yisrael 1:7 (pg 3), Mechaze Eliyahu 45, and Shevut Yitzchak ([[Muktzah]] pg 85) quoting Rav Elayshiv agree. Yalkut Yosef (vol 2, pg 463) is also lenient regarding clothing. See also Meiri 124b s.v. Kli (quoted by Nachalat Yisrael by 140) who considers clothes as a Kli SheMelacha LeHeter.</ref> | |||
* empty bottles for drinks <ref> Shalmei Yehuda 6:1 </ref> | |||
* keys to the house <ref> Shalmei Yehuda 6:1 </ref> | |||
* serving utensils <ref> Shalmei Yehuda 6:1 writes in the name of Rav Elyashiv and another Talmid Chacham that the exception from the laws of [[Muktzeh]] includes anything that’s always used on [[Shabbat]] such as a chair, a house key, tablecloth, empty bottle, [[talit]] bag. If so, certainly serving utensils are also included. </ref> | |||
* tablecloth <ref> Shalmei Yehuda 6:1 </ref> | |||
* [[talit]] bag <ref> Shalmei Yehuda 6:1 </ref> | |||
