Where may one scrape mud off one's shoes or feet on Shabbat?
Synopsis
The Mechaber permits scraping mud off one's feet/shoes onto a wall but not onto the ground (lest one fill in crevices). A dissenting view forbids even a wall. The Rema cites those who permit both wall and ground, and also permits using a non-muktze piece of clay.
