Is it permitted to study Torah at a table even if there is muktze (e.g., money) on one side of it, given that movement during study might indirectly move the muktze?
Synopsis
One may study Torah at a table even if money or other muktze is sitting on one side, because the movement involved in study is not a pesik reisha (inevitable result) in moving the muktze.
