Question

I would like to know if there is any way I can tie the dog's chain around a tree on Shabbat, without touching the tree, just closing the end of the chain on another part of the chain.

Answer

Hello, if it is possible to tie the chain around the lower part of the tree at a height of less than 30 cm, it is permitted. Additionally, if you make a permanent loop around the tree and on that loop make another loop, you can attach the dog's chain to the second loop.
