Question
Is it permissible to walk on grass on Shabbat if there is a possibility that some grass might be uprooted?
Answer
Hello Rabbi,
It is permissible to walk on grass on Shabbat, even if there is a likelihood that some grass might be uprooted, as long as there is a possibility that in his walking he will not uproot grass. [Halachically defined as not intentional and not a psik reisha].
Only if the grass is long and if he runs or walks quickly, he will certainly uproot grass, it is forbidden. [Halachically defined as not intentional and a psik reisha].
