Chapter 20
Categories of Muktzeh
Laws specifically relating to muktzeh on Yom Tov are explained in Chapter 21.
MUKTZEH MEI-CHAMATH GUFO
32.a. Food which it is forbidden to eat on Shabbath is muktzeh even if, when Shabbath terminates; it will be permissible to eat it without dealing with it in any special way.
32.b. The following are examples of such food:
1) an egg which was laid on Shabbath;
2) milk which was milked on Shabbath, albeit in a permitted manner (for instance by a non-Jew or by means of a milking machine, as explained in Chapter 27, paragraphs 46 and 48);
3) fruit which has fallen, or which one suspects may have fallen, from a tree on that Shabbath;
4) fruit which has been picked, or which one suspects may have been picked, by a non-Jew on that Shabbath;
5) juice which has oozed out by itself on Shabbath from
a) grapes or
b) other fruit, if not intended specifically for eating (as distinct from pressing).
(See Chapter 5, paragraph 11.)
32.c. For similar reasons, the following are muktzeh:
1) oil remaining in a lamp which was burning at the commencement of Shabbath and subsequently went
out;
2) oil which drips from a burning lamp on Shabbath.
