Chapter 21
Laws of Muktzeh on Yom Tov
2.a. Although, as we have seen in Chapter 20, paragraph 27, peels and bones which could be fed to an animal are not muktzeh on Shabbath, on Yom Tov one should adopt a stricter approach and treat as muktzeh
1) peels of this kind which have been separated from fruits or vegetables on Yom Tov and
2) bones of this kind from which the meat has been removed on Yom Tov.
2.b. Such peels and bones should not be moved on Yom Tov, except
1) in the circumstances where this is permitted in accordance with the rule set out in paragraph 3 below,
for example if one needs the space which they occupy on the dining table, or
2) in the circumstances described in Chapter 22, paragraph 42, 142, that is to say, where one finds the presence of the peels or bones offensive.
2.c. 1) Furthermore, food which is fit for human consumption, but spoils on Yom Tov to the extent that it
becomes fit only for animals, is muktzeh
2) Indeed, any article which breaks or spoils on Yom Tov and is no longer fit for its original use is muktzeh, even if it can be used for another purpose.
