Question
Is it permissible to return flowers to a vase with water on Shabbat?
Answer
Hello,
It is permissible to place open branches and flowers in a vase with water to prevent them from drying out.
Regarding branches that are not naturally intended for decoration or enjoyment, they must be designated for this purpose before Shabbat to avoid being muktzeh.
However, if some of the flowers and roses are still closed and they open due to the moisture of the water, it is forbidden to place them in a vase with water on Shabbat.
