Daily Halacha - Shabbat Laws, 22nd of Iyar 5777
Essential guidelines for observing Shabbat restrictions with practical examples
Is it permitted to remove spoiled grapes from a cluster?
One should not remove spoiled grapes from the cluster. Rather, one should pick and eat the good grapes and leave the spoiled ones [Chazon Ovadia 4, p. 179].
Is it permitted to organize cutlery in drawers after washing them?
It is permitted to organize cutlery, each in its designated drawer, and this does not constitute the prohibited act of sorting (borer), since some authorities maintain that the prohibition of sorting only applies to products grown from the ground. Additionally, this case doesn't involve food and waste, as all items are equally valuable to the person [Chazon Ovadia 4, p. 204].
