When soldiers of the king enter Jewish homes — whether by force or with the homeowner's consent — and the Jewish homeowner has muktzeh items stored in those rooms, do the soldiers prohibit carrying?
Synopsis
Seif 2 rules that royal soldiers quartered in Jewish homes do not prohibit carrying if the homeowner has items that cannot be moved (muktzeh) in those rooms. Authorities dispute the reasoning and scope.
