Text Excerpt

שוטחן בחמה, אבל לא כנגד העם. רבי אליעזר ורבי שמעון אוסרין.

One whose clothes fell into water on a Festival may not dry them in the conventional manner; however, he may spread them out in the sun, but not before the people, who may suspect that he laundered his clothes on Shabbat. R' Eliezer and R' Shimon prohibit doing so even in a place concealed from view. Apparently, the rabbis disagree whether or not an action prohibited due to the appearance of prohibition is prohibited everywhere.

ובמוך שבאזנה. תני רמי בר יחזקאל: והוא שקשור באזנה.

We learned in the Mishnah that a woman may go out on Shabbat with a cloth that is in her ear. Rami bar Yeḥezkel taught: And that is specifically in a case where the cloth is tied to her ear and she will not come to carry it.

ובמוך שבסנדלה. תני רמי בר יחזקאל: והוא שקשור לה בסנדלה.

The Mishnah continues: A woman may go out with a cloth that is in her sandal. Rami bar Yeḥezkel taught: And that is specifically in a case where the cloth is tied to her sandal.

ובמוך שהתקינה לה לנדתה. סבר רמי בר חמא למימר, והוא שקשור לה בין יריכותיה. אמר רבא: אף על פי שאינו קשור לה, כיון דמאיס לא אתיא לאיתויי.

We learned in the Mishnah: A woman may go out with a cloth that she placed due to her menstrual flow. Rami bar Ḥama considered saying that it is permitted specifically in a case where it is tied between her thighs. Rava said: It is permitted even though it is not tied to her; since it is repulsive, she will not come to carry it even if it falls.

בעא מיניה רבי ירמיה מרבי אבא: עשתה לה בית יד, מהו? אמר ליה: מותר. איתמר [נמי], אמר רב נחמן בר אושעיא אמר רבי יוחנן: עשתה לה בית יד ⁠— מותר.

R' Yirmeya raised a dilemma before R' Abba: If she made herself a handgrip in which she could hold the cloth, what is the halakha? Since she does not have to touch the cloth with her bare hand, is there concern that she will come to carry it or not? He said to him: It is permitted. It was also stated that Rav Naḥman bar Oshaya said that R' Yoḥanan said: If she made herself a handgrip it is permitted.
