Q. Thanks again for all your great and short answers, but Rov is not free of me yet! How wet does the garment really have to be when Shabbos begins in order to remain muktza for the rest of Shabbos?
A. “Wet” means actually soaking wet; if it was only damp, it may be worn or moved; (Remo O.H. 302:9).
However, If the cloth is only partially wet, it is still considered wet as long as the wet part constitutes an important part of the garment (Shemiras Shabbos K’hilchoso 15:17, note 50).
