Muktzeh in a Fish Cooked on Rosh Hashanah
Question
Is there a problem of 'migu d'itkatzai' (meaning 'since it was set aside') in a live fish that was cooked on a hotplate on the second day of Rosh Hashanah?
Answer
Shalom!
According to Halacha, there is no muktzeh (prohibition of moving certain objects on Shabbat and Jewish holidays) because of object’s status on the previous day, and immediately upon the entrance of the second day, it was suitable for eating through cooking.
