Getting rid of the pits

Hi,

Because seeds and pits which neither people nor [common] animals eat are muktzeh, one may not remove them from his mouth by hand.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 5:9:5)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

    Hi Michael,

    Good question; they are muktzeh because they have no function.
