Muktzeh due to concern for loss

Hi,

Items are muktzeh if one is so worried about them being damaged that he refrains from handling or using them. This category of muktzeh is called "muktzeh machmat chisaron kis".

Items which are expensive, but which people normally handle and use, are not muktzeh machmat chisaron kis.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 5:21:3)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
