Does incidentally placing muktze on a vessel in a casual or crowded manner (b'derech akra'i) constitute intentional placement that creates a basis?
Synopsis
There is a dispute whether casual placement (e.g., stacking items in a box without caring where they land) is treated as intentional placement (maniach) — creating basis — or as forgotten muktze (shocheiach) — allowing the vessel to be used.
