A Roll Intended for Cutting — What Type of Muktzeh Is It?
Question
1. A roll of aluminum foil
2. A roll of paper towels
3. A roll of toilet paper
Are these defined as muktzeh machmat gufo, because they are not really ready for use, or only as a kli shemelachto le-issur, since they can also be used without cutting?

Answer
Shalom u’vrachah
These rolls are muktzeh under the category of a kli shemelachto le-issur.
Since the rolls you mentioned are fit for use even while still attached. However, they are intended to be cut.
