# Some poskim say that blank paper is considered Muktzeh Machmat Chisaron Kis, while others only consider it a Kli SheMelachto LeIssur. <ref>* Mishna Brurah 308:3 writes that blank paper is Muktzeh Machmat Chisaron Kis. Rav Moshe Feinstein in Igrot Moshe 4:72 writes that this still applies today since no sensible person would waste a blank piece of paper that’s useable for writing. See Halachos of [[Muktzeh]] (p. 84) who quotes Rav Moshe Feinstein as saying that even paper that one isn’t concerned about wasting is still [[Muktzeh Machmat Gufo]] since it has no purpose.

# Blank pieces of paper are [[Muktzeh]]. Therefore, if a loose-leaf binder has pages with content together with blank pages, and the pages of content have some importance and one sometimes reads them, then, the binder is not [[Muktzeh]] and one may turn the blank pages in order to reach the pages of content.
