Question

Is it permissible to drag furniture in the yard?

Answer

Hello, if the yard is suitable for planting, it is forbidden to make a groove in it because it is considered plowing, and if he decides to plant, the seed will take root better. Therefore, if dragging the furniture will definitely create a groove in the ground, it is forbidden even if it is unintended. However, if it will not definitely make a groove, it is permitted even if it might create a groove, as long as he has no interest or intention for a groove to be in the ground.
