Question
Is it permissible to move a phone on Shabbat... the reason for prohibition: activation of sensors in company systems and also regarding the reception that changes according to movement... the reason for permission: for its use or place... P.S. Can something that is due to its value be considered a tool whose primary use is prohibited.
Answer
Shalom Rav
It is not permissible to move a phone, as it is considered muktze. Even for its use, it should not be moved because it appears as a disrespect to Shabbat.
[Due to the minimal changes in reception, there is no need to worry, it is not a psik reisha and not beneficial].
Muktze due to its value applies only to a tool whose primary use is prohibited.
