Folding Clothes on Shabbat
Question
Is there an issue with folding clothes on Shabbat?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
Clothes that do not have noticeable creases can be folded. However, clothes with noticeable creases, such as shirts, pants, and the like, may be folded, but not along the old creases.
Additionally, there is an issue with folding clothes or performing any other actions that are not for the purpose of Shabbat. However, if the folding is to keep the house tidy on Shabbat, it is permitted, in the allowed manners.
