However, the Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata writes that it’s permissible to use Benzine to remove the band aid so it won’t rip out any hairs (assuming that the cream was set aside before [[Shabbat]] and isn’t [[Muktzeh]]). Nonetheless, in the footnote he quotes Rav Shlomo Zalman as saying that if it’s painful, it may be removed because it’s a pesik reisha delo nicha leih (פסיק רישא דלא ניחא ליה), keleacher yad (כלאחר יד), and mekalkel (מקלקל). </ref> However, Sephardim are more lenient and may remove the band aid, as long as there is a need to remove.<ref>The Yalkut Yosef ([[Shabbat]] 4 pg 179, kitzur S”A 328:101, 340:6) writes that if there’s a need, it’s permissible to remove a band aid from an area of hair on [[Shabbat]] because it’s a pesik reisha delo nicha leih (פסיק רישא דלא ניחא ליה) for a Derabbanan. In the footnote he writes that even though the Or Letzion (vol 2, pg 259) is strict, his father (Rav Ovadyah, in Haskama to Lev Avraham), Rav Yitzchak Elchanan (Bear Yitzchak Siman 15), and Rav Shlomo Zalman (from Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata) are lenient. </ref> | ||
#Most authorities permit removing the Band-Aid from the protective tabs, while some are stringent and so to satisfy all opinions one should prepare Band-Aids for [[Shabbat]] by peeling off their protective tabs and re-sealing them before [[Shabbat]].<ref>Most poskim (oral ruling by Rav M. Feinstein, quoted in Kitzur Hilchos [[Shabbat]] 44, note 117); Rav S.Z. Auerbach in Shulchan Shelomo 328:45; Ohr l’Tziyon 2:36-15; Az Nidberu 7:34, 35; Rav C.P. Scheinberg, quoted in Children in Halachah, pg. 88; Rav N. Karelitz, quoted in Orchos [[Shabbat]] 11:35) permit removing the protective tabs from a Band-Aid, while others (Minchas Yitzchak 5:39-2; 9:41; Rav Y.S. Elyashiv, quoted in Machazeh Eliyahu 70) are stringent. To satisfy all opinions, one may prepare Band-Aids for [[Shabbat]] use by peeling off their protective tabs and re-sealing them before [[Shabbat]]; once they have been prepared in this fashion, they may be used on [[Shabbat]] (Tzitz Eliezer 16:6-5). Sh”t Bear Moshe 1:36 writes that it is obvious that it is permitted to remove the plastic tabs from the sides of a bandaid on [[Shabbat]] and it isn't [[Koreah]]. </ref> | #Most authorities permit removing the Band-Aid from the protective tabs, while some are stringent and so to satisfy all opinions one should prepare Band-Aids for [[Shabbat]] by peeling off their protective tabs and re-sealing them before [[Shabbat]].<ref>Most poskim (oral ruling by Rav M.
