Game on Shabbos for Sheva Brachos
Question
We saw a cute game once where two people hold up a string and the choson and kalah have to peg a whole load of (dry) clothes from a bag and hang up with a peg the washing as quickly as possible. Although really hanging up wet washing is a problem, would doing this indoors just for a game be allowed?
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
It is permitted to play such a game on Shabbos with dry laundry.
One should not do this with wet laundry due to a number of possible concerns, such as muktza, maris ayin, sechita, and more.
