My Dear Rov Shlit’a. As you well know I’m trying to be the very best Baal Tokea possible in all ways. I would like to know if I can bring the Shofar to shul on the first night Rosh Hashana after the Shekia (I daven Mincha early). I heard that some hold that the Shofar is Muktza in the night when you don’t blow. Is that correct?

Although, Kovetz Halochos (10: 11) indeed debates the issue of a Muktze prohibition on a Shofar in the night, most Poskim disagree and as Horav Dovid Pam Shlit’a and Horav Aharon Miller Shlit’a maintain, the common minhag is that there is no prohibition involved and you may carry the Shofar at night.
