Returning a Mezuzah that Fell on Shabbos
Question
If a mezuzah falls on Shabbos, are we obligated to return it on Shabbos if the mezuzah is attached only with adhesive and not with nails?
Answer
Shalom!
It is forbidden to glue things on Shabbos. And therefore, one should not return the mezuzah to its place.
