Question

I light Hanukkah candles on a chair or table, and I need the chair or table for use. What should be done in advance to allow moving them on Shabbat?

Answer

Initially, place valuable jewelry or similar items on the chair, which are more valuable than the menorah, and then it becomes a base for both the prohibited and permitted, allowing it to be moved if the permitted is more important.
