Question
Hello, During Shabbat, the garbage in the house overflowed, and the wife claims that it's unpleasant, emits a smell, and attracts flies. Is it permissible to take out the garbage to the building's garbage room? (Provided that an eruv chatzerot has been made in the building and it is possible to carry from private domain). Does it need to be done with a change?
Answer
Hello
Garbage that emits a bad smell is allowed to be taken out to a place where it will not disturb, and there is no prohibition of muktzeh.
This permission is called 'graf shel re'i'.
Of course, the permission to take it out of the house applies only when there is no prohibition regarding carrying from one domain to another.
