Question

Hello, I wanted to ask if an alarm clock is considered 'muktzeh machmat chisaron kis' for me. I have no problem using it for anything, and it's not very expensive. However, I am very particular that the children do not touch it because they change the time, and I don't wake up on time. Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello

The term 'muktzeh machmat chisaron kis' is not determined by a specific strictness, but by the definition of whether you are particular not to use it for other things. 

Therefore, if in general, you are not particular not to use it, it does not have the designation of 'chisaron kis'.
