Question

Is a "rag" always considered a utensil whose primary use is prohibited, or does it depend on how its owner primarily uses it - for wringing or just for drying water, etc.?

Answer

Hello,

Every utensil is defined by its primary use. Therefore, if the owner does not use it in a prohibited manner, but merely leaves it to absorb water, etc., the rag is not considered a 'utensil whose primary use is prohibited'.
