Melacha of Tying: Difference between revisions

Line 16:

From the Torah one is only liable for a permanent knot meant to remain forever, meaning he ties it intending it to remain as long as possible and as long as he doesn't need to untie it. Even though he may need to untie it soon and will untie it, since when tying it he doesn't set a specific time to untie it, and it could remain forever, this is called a permanent knot and one is liable for tying and untying it. But if he sets in his mind any specific time that he will definitely untie it, even if it's a very long time, this is not considered permanent from the Torah and he is exempt for both tying and untying it. However, the Rabbis also consider this permanent since it remains for some time, and it is forbidden both to tie and untie it.
