Key Abroad on Shabbat
Question
Regarding a key on Shabbat that is made into a belt, is it permitted or forbidden?
Answer
Hello Rabbi,
It is permitted to create a belt where the key serves as the buckle, meaning the key is used to fasten the belt, thus making it part of the garment and not considered carrying.
However, it is forbidden to hang the key on the belt in a way that it does not serve as part of it.
