Question
Hello, On Shabbat, another person took his book (Chumash) and folded one of the pages, so that part of the letters of the holy Torah on that page were folded. The person opens and sees the fold. Is it permissible for him to slightly straighten it upwards so that the page is not folded and close the book? (The consideration: if left folded, closing the book will only tighten and fix the fold. If he slightly straightens it to remove the fold, but without actual straightening, and allows the closing of the book to perform the straightening). Is this allowed on Shabbat?
Answer
Hello
There is no problem in straightening the fold with your hand.
