Question
Some place an avocado pit in water before Shabbat so that if a child is born, they remove the pit from the water and the avocado darkens. Is it permissible to place the pit in water on Shabbat (assuming it is not muktzeh and was designated before Shabbat), and is it permissible to remove it?
