A BIT MORE
1. The Tana Kama says that moving items either for a need or not for a need is permitted. Rebbi Nechemyah says that one is allowed to move items only for a need (see below). 2. Tana Kama: "A need" means moving a Kli she'Melachto l'Heter/l'Isur in order to use it (for a permitted use), whereas one also may move a Kli she'Melachto l'Heter if he needs to use the place where the vessel is resting. ("Not a need" means not needing the item for its own use.) Rebbi Nechemyah: One may move a Kli she'Melachto l'Heter only in order to use it. 3. Tana Kama: "A need" means moving a Kli she'Melachto l'Heter/l'Isur in order to use it (for a permitted use) or if its place is needed. One may move a Kli she'Melachto l'Heter even to prevent the item from being damaged ("not a need"). Rebbi Nechemyah: One may not move a Kli she'Melachto l'Heter even to prevent it from being damaged. 4. While this is not considered moving the vessel for a need, a leniency called "Graf Shel Re'i" allows one to move Muktzah. This means that a person is permitted to move something disgusting (such as dirty dishes on the table) from his living area on Shabbos. 5. Tana Kama: If they still can serve some kind of useful purpose, they are not Muktzah. Rebbi Yehudah: If they still can serve a purpose relating to the purpose they served when they were part of the vessel, they are not Muktzah.
