If the barrel cannot be tilted in place (surrounded by other barrels), may one carry the whole barrel with the stone to another location to tilt it there?
Synopsis
When tilting in place is impossible, one may lift the barrel with the stone and carry it to another location to tilt it. This is a form of indirect muktze handling (tiltul min ha-tzad) in the service of a permitted need.
