May clear wine or water be filtered through a strainer (mashmeres) or garment (sudar) on Shabbat?
Synopsis
The Mechaber presents two views: the first opinion permits filtering clear wine and water through a strainer but forbids filtering through garments (with water) due to laundering concerns. The Rambam forbids even clear wine/water through a strainer and only permits clear liquids through garments.
