Tying a Bucket with a Belt or Rope
Question
Hello,
What is the difference between tying a bucket with a belt to draw water and tying it with a rope?
And is it permissible to tie the belt to the bucket on Shabbat?
Answer
Hello and blessings
The difference between a belt and a rope is that with a rope, there is a concern that it might be left there permanently, resulting in a permanent knot.
However, with a belt, which a person needs to wear, there is no concern that it will be left there permanently, and there is no concern of a permanent knot.
