Question
Is it permissible to move a box of cooked macaroni that is in the refrigerator, with a box of uncooked grains placed on top of it, on Shabbat?
Answer
Shalom and blessings,
If the box of grains was intentionally placed on top of the box of macaroni, the bottom box becomes a 'base' for the forbidden item and is prohibited from being moved. However, if the top box was not placed there intentionally, the bottom box does not become a base, and it is permitted to shake off the top box and remove the bottom one.
