If a stone was forgotten (not deliberately placed) on a barrel or money on a pillow, how may one deal with the muktze to access the permitted item?
Synopsis
Forgotten muktze does not make the vessel a basis; one may tilt the barrel so the stone slides off, or shake the pillow so the coins fall off, as long as one needs the barrel or pillow (not the muktze).
