May body-movement (tiltul b'gufo) be used to move muktzeh items on Shabbat?
Synopsis
The Mechaber permits using one's body to move muktzeh items even for the sake of the muktzeh item itself. The Rema adds that premeditation (thinking about lying on the straw before Shabbat) is equivalent to a preparatory action.
