Using A Kli Shemelachto Le'isur By Putting Something On It

Using A Kli Shemelachto Le'isur By Putting Something On It Day: Friday Date: January 17, 2014 Parshat: Yitro Source: Yalkut Yosef: 308 Pots and pans that were empty when Shabbat started are considered to be kli shemelachto le'isur and are therefore muktzeh. If one wants to move one to put food into, he may do so because he is using it for a permitted purpose. However a pot that one does not store food inside of ever may not be moved without needing the pot for some other use or the space it occupies or to protect it from the sun or the rain. One may move an item that is a kli shemelachto le'isur by putting bread or a baby on it. For example if one put bread in a pot, he may move the pot even out of the sun or the rain. This applies specifically to kli shemelachto le'isur. One may not move candlesticks that were lit when Shabbat started by using this method.
