Cleaning Dried Mucus on Shabbat

Cleaning Dried Mucus on Shabbat
Day: Sunday
Date: October 25, 2015
Parshat: Vayera
Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 340

In memory of Adam Eliyahu ben Reina and Avraham Asher ben Tzadika

It is permissible on Shabbat to clean dried mucus from ones nose even though a few hairs may be inadvertently pulled out in the process. Pulling out hairs by hand on Shabbat is prohibited on a rabbinic level, not De'oraita. Therefore, since the one doing the cleaning does not have any specific intention to pull out hair it is permitted. On a separate note, it is permissible on Shabbat to cut off any feathers that remain on cooked chicken.
