Question
If the Shabbat candles are placed on the Shabbat table, is it permissible in the morning after the candles have gone out to remove the candlesticks from the table in order to replace the plastic tablecloth for the morning meal?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
It is forbidden to move the candlesticks, as they became muktzeh at the onset of Shabbat when the candles were lit in them.
