3.b. As this situation occurs only infrequently in practice, its intricacies will not be further discussed here.
4.a. Any protective shelter which may not be erected on Shabbath or Yom Tov – whether the source of the prohibition is the Torah or a Rabbinical injunction – may likewise not be taken down on Shabbath or Yom Tov.
4.b. A protective shelter which may be erected may also be taken down.
