Which Category Of Muktzeh Does The Basees Fall Under

Which Category Of Muktzeh Does The Basees Fall Under Day: Tuesday Date: January 28, 2014 Parshat: Terumah Source: Yalkut Yosef: 308 A basees follows the same rules as the type of muktzeh that is resting on it. Rocks that are not set aside to be used on Shabbat are muktzeh mahmat gufo - since they are not kelim and are not edible. Items that are muktzeh mahmat gufo may not be moved for any reason. Even if one needs the space they occupy. If a rock was resting on pillow when Shabbat started the pillow takes on the status of muktzeh mahmat gufo and may not be moved for any reason until Shabbat is over. A drawer that contains electronics or cooking utensils or any other such muktzeh is also considered to be a basees and may not be opened on Shabbat. The DSH is brought to you in memory of Rabbi Mordechai ben Daniel. Please visit us online at sephardichalacha.org
