Carrying Medical Documents on Shabbat
Question
I am currently in the hospital, and I have some documents that I will need to show to the doctor who will come on Shabbat. I wanted to ask if these documents are not muktzeh on Shabbat?
Answer
Greetings and wishing you a complete recovery
The documents are considered muktzeh, but it is permitted to carry them for a permissible use. Therefore, it is allowed to show them to doctors and the like.
